Is Artificial Intelligence On The Backburner During The Coronavirus Outbreak


Scientists have been able to engineer AI Doctors for a couple of years now, such as IBM Watson’s cardiologist AI, for example, identify algorithms, and potentially informs a patient of their disease. After that, a chatbot feature advices them thusly, on treating their condition. These AI-powered engineer doctors hold the key to self-diagnoses, and can dispense advice, almost as efficiently as any doctor could.

Engineer AI To Fight A Pandemic

Governments are in a fix, as we speak, as the looming threat of a Coronavirus outbreak (now pandemic), is threatening the safety of every nation state on the planet. Studies, like the one done at MIT, have demonstrated the potential of a “Robot Doctor” – an Artificial Intelligence that can do the same tasks as a Doctor, albeit with fewer mistakes! Artificial Intelligence, or the tasks we engineer AI for, have drastically seen a shift of pace in the last few years. A lot of them appear to be merely sorting tools, but their real potential is actually unexplored. One unlikely source of marvel, for which scientists have begun to engineer AI for, is battling the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, through a mix of preventive measures (like the Toronto based BlueDot AI, which predicted the outbreak of Coronavirus before it even happened), and reparative actions (like the Robot Doctors of Guangzhou, China).

The Drawbacks Of A Robot Doctor’

To be fair, having to Engineer AI that takes the role of Doctor is basis for paranoia within itself. The fact of the matter is that the Coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak has exposed some really glaring flaws in our pandemic response measures. With over $2.8 trillion USD being pumped into a reactionary response by the countries of the world right now, a fraction of it could’ve established a working AI action team in the many years leading up to it.

Engineer.ai - Redefining diversity and inclusion at the workplace

Image
A glance back at the advancement made in building a different and comprehensive working environment up until now. The average employee will spend almost 90,000 hours over their life at their place of work. For some, this naturally promotes a sense of belonging towards the company, becoming a driving force for continually improving their performances. However, over the past few years, establishments have begun to realize that not all employees can cultivate a deep relationship with their workplace due to several internal or external factors. However, one thing is certain, the subject of diversity and inclusion has become a central point of every discourse on workplace culture, and companies are therefore focusing on creating a proressive atmosphere to amplify the intangible value they offer to their employees. Engineer.ai Co-founder said we can attribute the initiation of the diversity revolution to issues like gender disparity in allowing equal work and pay opportunity. Organi...

Sachin Dev Duggal Engineer.AI - New Generation Business

Image
Sachin Dev Duggal Engineer AI Engineer.ai is a "AI Assembly Line" that empowers everyone to build and operate software projects. Established in 2013 in San Francisco, the startup has a branch office in Gurgaon. We started out with a dream to be the connection between every great idea and a fully realized product. The idea is to empower everyone to build their ideas; especially given that only 3 per cent of people are successful in taking an idea to a live product,” says CEO Sachin Dev Duggal Engineer.ai , adding that to achieve this, they went right back to the drawing board on how software is made today. They looked at best practices across industries and landed on the magic Henry Ford did with his assembly line. “Back in the 1900s, cars were produced by a small group of people that did everything from the engine to the seats. Now, it’s all on an assembly line where different teams from around the world work on their specific areas bringing their respective core compet...

3 reasons not to panic about AI

Image
Artificial intelligence (AI) should be democratized to assist more with peopling understand it and embrace its potential; We have to create guidelines for AI that are agile and adapt to this quickly advancing innovation; A focus on "Trustworthy AI" offers a promising model for advancement and the administration of AI. Artificial intelligence (AI) has gained widespread attention in recent years. Artificial intelligence is seen as a vital innovation to lead us into what's to come. However, while academics, industry leaders and policy-makers alike, I have watched some growing concerns around the vulnerability of this technology. In my observation, these concerns can be categorized into three perspectives: Many people lack a full understanding of AI and therefore are more likely to view it as a nebulous cloud instead of a powerful driving force that can create a lot of value for society; Some companies or individuals worry that they will fall behind as AI becomes more preval...
