Face-Scanning AI Identifies Rare Genetic Disorders
The photograph is cropped close on the face of four-year-old Yael, who is smiling and looking as healthy as can be. But a computer analysis of her features says something's not right. She has MR XL Bain Type, the computer predicts--a very rare syndrome that causes a wide range of health problems. It turned out that the computer was right. Yael is one of thousands of children who have contributed to the development of an artificial intelligence system called DeepGestalt that can identify rare genetic disorders based on facial features alone.
