How artificial intelligence penetrates our lives

Can you imagine a computer recommending to oncologists what type of treatment would be best for their patients? Similar technology is already used by IBM Watson, a computing system providing them the assistance they need to make more informed and personalised treatment decisions. The system was trained by a specialised team from the Memorial Sloan Kettering in the US, and then spread throughout the world. The Watson for Oncology helps doctors quickly identify key information in a patient's medical record, relevant surface evidence and explore treatment options. You can find it also in Slovakia: it has been used by 10 hospitals united in the Svet Zdravia network since last March.
