Global Bigdata Conference

Getting executives to talk about the potential of much-hyped artificial intelligence (AI) is one thing; getting them to explain how it might work in their business is often another issue altogether. But Julie Dodd, director of digital transformation and communication at Parkinson's UK, is not only able to talk about how AI might change the game in terms of research and service delivery, she's also able to point to uses cases in her own organisation where emerging technology is already producing life-changing benefits. Parkinson's UK is using their machine-learning platform to search for drugs that might offer a potential cure to the condition. The charity won the partnership in a competition through the Association of Medical Charities. Applicants were asked to submit proposals that demonstrated how BenevolentAI's technology could solve specific research challenges.
