A few groups of VA researchers are using artificial intelligence (AI) to identify Veterans at high risk of hospitalization or death. That can help ensure these Veterans get the best care possible. One potential approach was described in a recent article in the journal PLOS ONE. The idea was to match patients with the right types of care, explains the study's lead author, VA cancer physician and investigator Dr. Ravi Parikh. Dr. Ravi Parikh is a cancer doctor with expertise in informatics and health care delivery.

AI driven innovations are triggering the next wave of growth, transforming globally distributed networks, including the tools and services required to deliver optimal value. Today, with high operational costs, dipping revenue margins, and demand for exponential growth, there is a veritable need to transform existing network operational models to a dynamic and adaptive on-demand network which can optimize costs, reduce power ingestions, forecast outage points, and self-configure to mitigate any service risks. There is significant increase in efficiencies when a network with cognitive abilities drives governance by identifying incidents across locations, and provides guidance towards the next best available hub to handle the task with no adverse impact on service outcomes. Hence, adopting AI is becoming an enterprise imperative.

Indian-American brothers look to harness artificial intelligence for greater good Google launching artificial intelligence research center in China DUBAI: With the everchanging technological landscape the world is witnessing, Artificial Intelligence's impact on the world of journalism has proved to be a double-edged sword, the Associated Press' Director of News Partnerships Lisa Gibbs explained at Dubai's Arab Media Forum on Tuesday. "The biggest issue we face today is the war on fake news. AI will be a powerful tool for those seeking to create it and those seeking to combat it," she said, adding that, "technology is getting better at creating fake images and thus we need to build tools to spot these fake images, the same goes for text and video." The rise of fake news across social media platforms pushed the Associated Press to launch a tool called "AP Verify" which allows AI to assess and verify news extracted from social media, Gibbs explained. With this, AI is being introduced to more speedily form news stories based on verified minimal information supplied – thus churning out 3,700 stories a day in comparison to the 300 done solely using human journalists.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation, which took part in the study, expressed concern that "increasingly sophisticated AI will usher in a world that is strange and different from the one we're used to, and there are serious risks if this technology is used for the wrong ends."

General Electric's healthcare division will partner with the corporate parent of two of Harvard University's teaching hospitals to develop artificial intelligence products for medicine. The goal: to leverage the company's dominant position in medical imaging into a new ownership of medical AI. "We make machines but that's not really the business," says John Flannery, the chief executive of GE Healthcare, says he tells his team. "The business is what kind of solution can we put together that gets a better clinical and economic outcome?" GE Healthcare is one of the main manufacturers of imaging devices used in radiology–things like PET and MRI scanners.
