HealthCare Global Enterprises Ltd (HCG) on Monday announced that it has deployed Sigtuple's AI100 making HCG the first hospital chain to equip the Hematopathology labs across its network with AI-powered screening solutions for cancer detection and disease management. According to the company's press statement, SigTuple's AI100 is the premier solution for AI-assisted digital hematopathology. It is also the only digital hematopathology solution available that is economical and robust enough for wide-scale adoption, it claimed. "As manual microscopy is still the standard in diagnosing several critical disorders like cancers, infections, etc., in the absence of a pathologist at site in laboratories outside urban areas, these samples need to be shipped to central reference laboratories for review. Apart from the logistic challenges and associated delays in turnaround times, there is also limited expertise available for providing high quality diagnostics at remote locations," it stated.

Welcome to our October 2021 monthly digest where you can catch up with any AIhub stories you may have missed, get the low-down on recent events, and much more. In this edition we cover our latest focus issue, the concept of foundation models, 100 days of machine learning, Beethoven's 10th symphony, and more. Our latest focus series life on land (as part of our wider series on the UN sustainable development goals) was launched this month. We spoke to Lily Xu about her work in green security. Lily and her colleagues apply machine learning and game theory techniques to wildlife conservation.

Event Details: This is a fully virtual event that will be led by Russ Altman, Stanford University (AI100 Faculty Director), Peter Stone, University of Texas at Austin (AI100 Standing Committee Chair), and Michael Littman, Brown University (AI100 2021 Report Lead Author) discussing the 2021 AI100 Report, which released on September 16th. The event will offer two broadcasts (9:00am-10:00am PDT and 5:00pm-6:00pm PDT) for attendees to watch and engage with panelists who have contributed to the AI100 Report. We encourage you to watch the event live in order to submit your questions and engage with our panelists during each broadcast. The video recordings of each broadcast will also be available post-event on the HAI Website. The One Hundred Year Study on Artificial Intelligence, or AI100, is a 100-year effort to study and anticipate how the effects of artificial intelligence will ripple through every aspect of how people work, live and play.

Artificial intelligence has reached a critical turning point in its evolution, according to a new report by an international panel of experts assessing the state of the field. Substantial advances in language processing, computer vision and pattern recognition mean that AI is touching people's lives on a daily basis -- from helping people to choose a movie to aiding in medical diagnoses. With that success, however, comes a renewed urgency to understand and mitigate the risks and downsides of AI-driven systems, such as algorithmic discrimination or use of AI for deliberate deception. Computer scientists must work with experts in the social sciences and law to assure that the pitfalls of AI are minimized. Those conclusions are from a report titled "Gathering Strength, Gathering Storms: The One Hundred Year Study on Artificial Intelligence (AI100) 2021 Study Panel Report," which was compiled by a panel of experts from computer science, public policy, psychology, sociology and other disciplines.

A newly published report on the state of artificial intelligence says the field has reached a turning point where attention must be paid to the everyday applications of AI technology -- and to the ways in which that technology are being abused. The report, titled "Gathering Strength, Gathering Storms," was issued today as part of the One Hundred Year Study on Artificial Intelligence, or AI100, which is envisioned as a century-long effort to track progress in AI and guide its future development . AI100 was initiated by Eric Horvitz, Microsoft's chief scientific officer, and hosted by the Stanford University Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence. The project is funded by a gift from Horvitz, a Stanford alumnus, and his wife, Mary. The project's first report, published in 2016, downplayed concerns that AI would lead to a Terminator-style rise of the machines and warned that fear and suspicion about AI would impede efforts to ensure the safety and reliability of AI technologies.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] -- Artificial intelligence has reached a critical turning point in its evolution, according to a new report by an international panel of experts assessing the state of the field. Substantial advances in language processing, computer vision and pattern recognition mean that AI is touching people's lives on a daily basis -- from helping people to choose a movie to aiding in medical diagnoses. With that success, however, comes a renewed urgency to understand and mitigate the risks and downsides of AI-driven systems, such as algorithmic discrimination or use of AI for deliberate deception. Computer scientists must work with experts in the social sciences and law to assure that the pitfalls of AI are minimized.

Reproduced under a CC BY-ND 4.0 licence. Today, the One Hundred Year Study on Artificial Intelligence (AI100) 2021 Study Panel Report has been released. The mission of AI100 is to launch a study every five years, over the course of a century, to better track and anticipate how artificial intelligence propagates through society, and how it shapes different aspects of our lives. The first report was published in 2016, and, like that inaugural document, the 2021 edition has been written by a team of AI experts, all with much experience in the field. The report aims to address four audiences: the general public, industry, government, and AI researchers. It is structured as a collection of responses by the 2021 Study Panel to 12 standing questions and two workshop questions posed by the AI100 Standing Committee.

We are introducing a monthly digest to keep you up-to-date with the latest happenings in the AI world. You can catch up with any AIhub stories you may have missed, get the low-down on recent conferences, and generally immerse yourself in all things AI. The big news from AIhub is that we recently launched our first ever focus series: "AI for good: UN sustainable development goals". Each month we will be concentrating on a different sustainable development goal (SDG) and bringing you a collection of work from people in the field. Our first topic was SDG number 3: good health and well-being.
