A new analysis led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health estimates that 68 percent of Chicago children under age six live in households with tap water containing detectable levels of lead. For their analysis, the researchers used machine learning, an artificial intelligence technique, to gauge likely levels of lead in …
A new study by Stanford Medicine investigators unveils a new artificial intelligence model that was more than 90% successful at determining whether scans of brain activity came from a woman or a man. The findings published Feb. 19 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, help resolve a long-term controversy about whether reliable …
Sometimes we post articles that are interesting, just for fun or those that challenge long-standing thoughts, and this is one of them. Fingerprints have always been thought to be unique, but a recent study from Columbia University’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences published in Science Advances is utilizing artificial intelligence to challenge the long-standing …
There’s a lot of talk about artificial intelligence, or AI, these days. AI is everywhere—from virtual assistants to facial recognition software. The technology is even assisting doctors and scientists. So what exactly is AI? And how is it helping advance scientific research? “AI is basically trying to teach computers to ‘think’ in the same way …
Artificial Intelligence seems to be the way of the future. In terms of health care, would you want AI to make important treatment and judgment calls, based upon arbitrary criteria? Could you teach AI Medical Ethics vs Insurance criteria based on costs or age? As a patient would I trust a computer? Where would one …

An artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithm has found that an antimalarial drug and a derivative of traditional Chinese medicine may also treat osteoporosis. The study published in ACS Central Science showed that the drug effectively reversed osteoporosis-related bone loss, at least in animal studies. There is a delicate balance between osteoblasts that build new …
Researchers from the University College Hospital and the Moorfields Eye Hospital report that an artificial intelligence (AI) boosted eye scan may be able to detect the markers of Parkinson’s disease (PD) up to seven years before experts make an official diagnosis. The study published in Neurology describes how the eye scan was able to identify …
A new AI model has been developed by Osaka Metropolitan University scientists using chest radiographs to accurately estimate chronological age. The researchers report that they found a positive relationship between differences in its estimates and chronological ages and a variety of chronic diseases, and their findings are published in The Lancet Healthy Longevity. The deep …
