Quantum computers promise to create a new wave of global innovation comparable to the advent of classic computers, the internet, and artificial intelligence. Unlike classical machines, quantum computers harness the principles of quantum mechanics to process information in radically different ways — enabling them to tackle certain tasks that are difficult or impossible for traditional…
The digital transformation of health care is advancing at unprecedented speed. Artificial intelligence (AI), mobile health apps, and telemedicine promise to enhance more accurate diagnoses, streamline care delivery, and expand access to health services worldwide.
Recently three key areas have attracted special EU attention: sustainability, biodiversity, and food supply and security.
Recent attempts to merge disconnected data systems within agencies reveal the government’s capacity for surveillance and population control, and highlight critical data privacy concerns.
Developments in neurotechnologies, which interface with one’s nervous system to monitor, stimulate, or modulate neural activity in the brain, are progressing at a rapid rate.
In this piece, we draw on insights about the complementary nature of human and AI intelligence to identify three key lessons for effectively integrating AI into health care practice and policy, using examples from recent research to illustrate their impact.
Solving medical illiteracy and reducing health care costs are now possible because of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Is informed consent still meaningful in the age of AI? Once the gold standard of medical ethics, it now risks becoming symbolic — a checkbox, rather than a safeguard.
AI is the use of computers or machine learning to simulate or imitate human intelligence. This technology has advanced rapidly over the past several years, allowing new forms of AI to leverage vast quantities of data to teach itself and solve problems.
Medicine is one of humanity’s greatest information-processing challenges. Understanding and repairing the human body requires synthesizing vast amounts of interconnected knowledge and information while making high-stakes decisions.
