Fox News contributor Dr. Marc Siegel weighs in on how artificial intelligence can change the patient-doctor relationship on "America's Newsroom." Artificial intelligence (AI) is helping people see the world in new ways every day, including the blind, who find AI helping them navigate the world with greater ease and more options than they previously could have imagined. "I think it will lead to quality of life changes," Chris Danielsen, director of public relations for the National Federation of the Blind, told Fox News Digital. "I think Braille will always be important – let me just say that we're big advocates of Braille and the National Federation of the Blind – but … what I think we're going to see is just that blind people can get more information about their environment." The blind community has already utilized new technology with AI-adjacent capabilities for a number of years, notably through the app Be My Eyes, which launched in 2015 and utilized computer vision, which analyzes images and identifies objects within them.

In 2018, more than 4,500 people in Norway were treated for colon cancer. This is the most common cancer in Norway with a rapid increase over the past 50 years, according to the Norwegian Cancer Society (NCS). A new method, based on artificial intelligence, can now make sure many of these patients don't get overtreated or wrongly treated. "For many people, there is no effect of the treatment and it is just a nuisance," said Håvard Danielsen, professor at the University of Oxford and the Department of informatics at the University of Oslo. "We want to stop treating or give another treatment to these patients."

The QWERTY typewriter was introduced in 1872, and since then tapping on a keyboard or screen has become the standard way to interact with digital technology. But this isn't always convenient or safe, so new "touchless" ways to control machines are being developed. Imagine being out for a jog, headphones on, and wanting to turn up the volume without breaking your stride. Or receiving a "new message" alert on your phone while driving and wanting to activate the text-to-speech function without taking your eye off the road. These are scenarios where touchless control would come in handy.
