News: What can artificial intelligence do for health?

In 2009, Hiroshi Kobayashi, a scientist from the Tokyo University of Science, presented the world's first robotic teacher Saya. According to Kobayashi, machines are better than human teachers. The AI-powered robot knows the answers to all questions – it monitors and analyzes childs' behavior to individualize the learning process and support their hidden talents. This utopian vision of education has a lot to do with healthcare. Of course, nobody would like to be treated by artificial intelligence (AI) wearing a doctor's coat – like no parent would prefer a robot over a human teacher.
