AI for health: Chan Zuckerberg Initiative buys Meta startup to speed progress
By 2020, medical data is expected to double every 73 days. With the rapidly growing amount of health data being produced, it is no surprise that medical knowledge is being drowned in the sea of scientific data. To make use of the incredible amounts of medical data, health professionals are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to help find patterns in the deluge of data to provide better diagnostics and treatment. And now, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative may speed progress in that area. The philanthropic arm of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan has just purchased a Canadian healthcare startup, Meta, which uses AI to find, review and compile scientific papers. Meta is the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative's first outright acquisition and will be made free to use for all researchers.
