The 5 Coolest Things On Earth This Week  

Sam Worley
December 09, 2019
"A graphene composite was designed to neutralize air pollution, synthetic neurons might be used to fight Alzheimer’s disease, and novel gels can be “trained” just like Pavlov’s dogs. Artificial materials are having real impacts in this week’s coolest scientific advances.

Breathing Easier: This AI Is Helping Doctors Spot Life-Threatening Lung Problems Faster

Dorothy Pomerantz
December 09, 2019

A collapsed lung can feel a little like being trapped underwater. Pneumothorax (as doctors call it) is caused by tears in the lung that leak air into the space between the lung and the chest wall creating an air pocket that places immense external pressure on the lung. As the pocket gets bigger, the more air the patient takes in — making it harder and harder to breathe.

Analyze This: How AI Will Help Doctors Make Us Right As Rain

December 04, 2019
When Erno Muuranto thinks about the applications for artificial intelligence in healthcare, his mind goes to weather. “The meteorological station is throwing out all kinds of information about humidity, temperature and wind speed, but all I want to know is whether I should bring an umbrella with me to work,” he says. “Today, we have weather apps for that. We are now working on technology that could provide the same insights to doctors: What is the probability that this patient is going to get better or worse?”

The music festival Lollapalooza is held every year in downtown Chicago, but that’s nothing compared to the gathering that’s been described as “Lollapalooza for radiologists”: the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, which kicked off Dec. 1 at Chicago’s McCormick Place.

November 24, 2019
Artificial intelligence can predict a risk of death from heart trouble and (in a separate study) predict how jokes will land, a virtual reality patch could help folks “hold hands” even if they’re a world apart, and human patients have been placed in suspended animation for the first time — as an emergency medical measure. All that and more in this week’s coolest scientific advances.

Humble AI Takes A Curious Turn: How Algorithms That Ask ‘Why’ Can Improve Wind Energy

Amy Kover
November 18, 2019
Part of being human is knowing one’s limitations — no one who has just run their first 5-kilometer race, for instance, should think they could pull off a marathon the following weekend. Likewise, artificial intelligence can perform marathon feats of computing but also needs to know its limits.

Artificial intelligence could help seismologists predict earthquakes, a new type of drug could flush aging cells from the body, and researchers introduced a robot that’s made of ... smaller robots. Similarly, this week’s roundup of cool scientific discoveries is way more than the sum of its parts.
 

AI Keeps An Ear To The Ground
Press Release

GE Healthcare Receives FDA Clearance of First Artificial Intelligence Algorithms Embedded On-Device to Prioritize Critical Chest X-ray Review

September 12, 2019
  • Helps radiologists prioritize critical cases with a suspected pneumothorax – a type of collapsed lung – by immediately flagging critical cases to radiologists for triage, which could drastically cut the average review time from up to eight hours[1]
  • Offers first-of-its-kind automated AI quality check features that detect acquisition errors, flagging images for technologist review and allowing them to make corrections before they go to radiologists for review

Judgment Call: Why GE Is Experimenting With ‘Humble AI’

Fred Guterl
September 09, 2019

Here’s a nightmare story for you: Machines, endowed with artificial intelligence, get smarter than their creators, take charge and attempt to save humans from themselves. Oops. Smarts, it turns out, are different from wisdom. Pooh-poohing a saying variously attributed to Socrates, Aristotle as well Albert Einstein — the more I know, the more I realize I know nothing — the machines push ahead and bring civilization crashing down on all of us.
