LONDON – The first systematic review and meta-analysis of the accuracy of artificial intelligence in health care has concluded AI may be as good as clinicians in interpreting medical images, but it is hard to be sure because of the poor quality of published studies.

LONDON – The future role of artificial intelligence (AI) in health in the U.K. was cemented recently with the announcement of £250 million (US$301 million) in government funding to set up a dedicated AI laboratory that will work to systematically apply the technology and harness the benefits at a national level.

In retrospect, it seems inevitable that an algorithm would be appointed to a board of directors. Hong Kong-based Deep Knowledge Ventures named Vital (an acronym for Validating Investment Tool for Advancing Life Sciences) to its board five years ago and credits it with making better decisions than its fellow members, humans all.

PERTH, Australia – There is pervasive use of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) across the health care industry in Australia, and excitement is building on the opportunities it offers to technologies and ultimately to patients, Ausbiotech CEO Lorraine Chiroiu told BioWorld.
