Some Updates in the World of AI -- AI Daily - Artificial Intelligence News

On September 18th The Lancet Digital Health released an article called " Artificial intelligence in COVID-19 drug repurposing" (written by Yadi Zhou, PhD, Prof Fei Wang, PhD, Prof Jian Tang, PhD, Prof Ruth Nussinov, PhD, Prof Feixiong Cheng, PhD) in the article it explained how artificial intelligence is being used for drug reproposing,which is where an already existing is drug used to fight novel diseases such as COVID-19. Artificial intelligence is being used to speed up this process, with the exponential growth in computing power, memory storage and a plethora of data its only right for the medical sector to use this to speed up a process that help fight against the worlds latest threat that is COVID-19. So how is artificial intelligence being used to speed up this process, well the article explains how artificial intelligence used for extracting hidden patterns and evidence from biomedical data, which otherwise would have been done manually saving a considerable amount of time. In connection to the medical sector, artificial intelligence in medicine may be racially biased. Just like explained above artificial intelligence has transformed the healthcare and has really cut the time on many aspects of medicine such as making a breast or lung cancer diagnosis based on imaging studies, or deciding when patients should be discharged in a matter of second which is just incredible, but like all good things it comes with its flaws.
