AI to make presence felt at British hospitals, but won't replace doctors just yet

University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, one of Britain's biggest health trusts, has partnered The Alan Turing Institute, a body that collects AI expertise of British universities, to automate tasks ranging from reading CT scans for cancer to prioritising patients at the emergency department, The Guardian reported. NHS is England's National Health Service. It is a health service that everybody in the UK can use. "Machines will never replace doctors, but the use of data, expertise and technology can radically change how we manage our services – for the better," Professor Marcel Levi, chief executive of University College London Hospitals, was quoted as saying. According to the report, the two bodies have signed an artificial-intelligence agreement for three years.
