Artificial Intelligence is the Next Medical Breakthrough - DATAVERSITY

She continues, "Multivariate analysis is by far the greatest strength of AI, because it allows the kind of contextual decision-making intelligence used in systems like the human mind, while also drawing from the eidetic memory of a hard disk. No parsing through the emotions is required, and there are no attentional omissions. AI doesn't need sleep, and doesn't get fatigued after focusing on one topic for too long. At the same time, AI has the benefit of massively parallel processing. The ability to handle huge volumes of data is of increasing value, and AI can drink from the firehose. With enough memory and processing power, a medical AI could hold a whole family tree's worth of medical records in context, scour databases for pertinent diagnostic information, and call up banks of medical and social resources – all at the same time."
