Olivia Williams says actors need'nudity rider'-type controls for AI body scans'Have we done ourselves out of a job?': concerns in film and TV industry over on-set body scanning Actors should have as much control over the data harvested from scans of their body as they do over nudity scenes, the actor Olivia Williams has said, amid heightened concern over artificial intelligence's impact on performers. The star of Dune: Prophecy and The Crown said she and other actors were regularly pressed to have their bodies scanned by banks of cameras while on set, with few guarantees about how the data would be used or where it would end up. "A reasonable request would be to follow the precedent of the'nudity rider'," she said.

The star of Levi's new campaign looks like any other model . Her tousled hair hangs over her shouldersas she gazes into the camera with that far-off high-fashion stare. But look closer, and something starts to seem a little off. The shadow between her chin and neck looks muddled, like a bad attempt at using FaceTune's eraser effect to hide a double chin. Her French manicured fingernails appear scrubbed clean and uniform in a creepy real doll kind of way.

For-profit companies have long sought to tap into the fears of consumers, offering pricey medical scans they can access without a doctor's recommendation, as long as they can pay the price out of pocket. Now, some of these ventures are trumpeting scans assisted by artificial intelligence, essentially cutting-edge computer technology they say can reveal hidden health problems, from cancer to obscure bone disorders, and analyze the results more quickly than those typically ordered by doctors. Researchers say artificial intelligence, known as AI, holds the promise of more precise diagnosis and also the ability to shorten waiting times for results. But are these new body scans for the "worried well" surging ahead of the current science on artificial intelligence? As the debate heats up, a California-based company is planning to open in Massachusetts.

Remember the days where you would schedule a doctor's appointment only to get there and wait for a couple of hours? If you had any tests done, it would take days to get results back and often you'd have to go back to the office and wait all over again? Driven by the need for a better customer experience healthcare is experiencing a huge shift. As a preview to CES, we've already learned about a virtual caregiver named Addison that may soon help support the 10,000 aging Americans who turn 65 every single day. With the help of AI, she's able to monitor a person's health and even recognize signs of decline--allowing older Americans to age in their homes safely while also making up for the insufficient number of caregiving humans in many communities.

Earlier this year, Kaggle ran a $1 million contest to build algorithms capable of identifying signs of lung cancer in CT scans, helping to fuel a larger effort to apply neural networks to health care.

Companies like Google and Facebook use the technology to do things like identify faces in online images, recognize commands spoken into smartphones and translate one language into another. But the possibilities extend well beyond smartphone apps and other online services. Earlier this year, Kaggle ran a $1 million contest to build algorithms capable of identifying signs of lung cancer in CT scans, helping to fuel a larger effort to apply neural networks to health care. Now, the hope is that neural networks can also help automated systems read body scans with greater accuracy, so checkpoint workers can spend less time pulling passengers aside and patting them down. "We started by trying to figure out what was a dog and what was a cat," said Goldbloom, referring to the growing community of companies, academics and other researchers working with neural networks.

A computer could automatically assess scans to see potential health risks before they become obvious. There's an elusive innovation that would revolutionize medicine: a way to detect disease before it becomes obvious. A study recently published in the journal Scientific Reports could bring us a step closer to that capability. The paper reveals how artificial intelligence analyses of routine medical scans could be turned into powerful predictors of a person's health and risk of death. For the study, researchers used a machine learning algorithm to analyze routine chest CT scans from 48 adults, all of whom were over 60 years of age.

San Francisco start-up Forward is betting its hands-on--and very digital approach--to treating patients will help to carve out a niche for the new company in the emerging market for personalized and concierge-style healthcare. Founded by CEO Adrian Aoun, who previously worked as director of special projects for Google, Forward is attempting to shift the traditional healthcare model away from immediate and reactive care to proactive care through the use of technology and artificial intelligence. Google acquired Aoun's first start-up, Wavii.com, in 2014 in a $30 million deal. Wavii became the hub of Google's artificial intelligence business unit to develop more natural language and personal assistant technologies such as voice-activated search queries for the Google search engine. Now Aoun is turning his attention to digital healthcare.

Fitness trackers aim to help wearers lose weight, but these devices don't show users the pounds they've shed or muscle gained. A new innovation uses 3D scanning technology that tracks your shape, measurements, body fat percent and weight to show you exactly how far you are on your fitness journey. The Naked 3D Fitness Tracker is a full-length 3D scanning mirror with a scale that spins users around 360-degrees to collect data for'the naked truth' - a personalized 3D body model.
