AI can take over some tasks but will not replace humans: Experts

Biomind, an artificial intelligence (AI) machine, can read MRI scans and diagnose neurological conditions like tumours in a second, its maker, Hanalytics, has claimed. In contrast, a doctor will take an hour on average to study the images and draw up a report, the Singapore start-up said. But while AI machines like Bio-mind are increasingly outperforming humans, they can never totally replace them. This was a recurring theme at the inaugural Sino-Singapore Artificial Intelligence Forum yesterday. The reason has to do with the importance of the human touch.
