It has used AI to teach us AI. What motivated me to write about this is one application of Youtube's data scientists, which they have used to match up with the skyrocketing culture of OTT and Digital Streaming. In other words, create their own exclusive Youtube Originals. One such original, which was also among the pilot project, starring Robert Downey Jr. was, The Age of A.I The second episode talked about how AI's algorithms are transforming the lives of Underprivileged Indians. The rise of AI is not just confined to the use of programmers, software developers and Capitalists.

Artificial intelligence is perhaps one of, if not, the most disruptive technologies of this era. Although it has been practised for over 60 years, AI has really emerged as a practical part of operations across industries in the last decade or so. Healthcare is one such sector where its impact promises to be far-reaching. Of the numerous benefits AI has to offer, enhanced patient safety and greater accessibility are the most obvious ones. A report titled'Artificial Intelligence (AI): Healthcare's new nervous system' by Accenture estimates that health AI market in the US will be worth USD 6.6 billion by 2021, with a staggering CAGR of 40 percent.

IDx, a Coralville-based med technology firm, is giving the world a glimpse into what eye health care might look like in the future. IDx-DR, an autonomous artificial intelligence diagnostic system developed by Dr. Michael Abramoff to detect diabetic retinopathy, gained approval in 2018 from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The technology is to be used in health care settings patients already visit, such as their primary care physician's office, to catch the disease before it causes permanent damage. "The early detection of this disease is important. We're reducing the burden on patients by making it easier to access testing," said Ben Clark, president and chief operating officer of IDx. "Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of preventable blindness in the United States," he said.

An additional 84.1 million have prediabetes, which often leads to the full disease within five years. It's important to detect diabetes early to avoid health complications like heart disease, stroke, amputation of extremities and vision loss. Technology increasingly plays an important role in early detection, too. In that vein, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has just approved an AI-powered device that can be used by non-specialists to detect diabetic retinopathy in adults with diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy occurs when the high levels of blood sugar in the bloodstream cause damage to your retina's blood vessels.

Artificial intelligence (AI), healthcare, and investing in stocks are three of my favorite topics. So when you combine all three of them, I really get excited. There are quite a few great stocks of companies that are harnessing the power of AI in improving healthcare. IBM (NYSE:IBM), for example, is already changing healthcare in several ways with its Watson AI technology. NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) developed an AI platform that's designed specifically for healthcare applications.

Diabetes is a hell of a disease. While many people view it as nothing more than the inability to eat sweets, it is actually much more devastating than just that. If untreated, having high glucose levels can wreak havoc on a patient's body -- these folks can go blind, have limbs amputated, or worst of all, die. Diabetic eye disease is caused by retinopathy. Affected diabetics can have small tears inside the eye, causing bleeding.
