Artificial Intelligence (AI) is alreadybeing
trained by Alphabet, Google’s
parent company, to detect skin cancer
using smartphones capable of the same
degree of accuracy as the best human
experts, taking the expertise of doctors
and placing it in the hands of the public
and their digital devices. As patients
stream data from their smartphones
and wearable devices, they are teaching
AIs to do ever more. Future AIs could,
for instance, provide automated medical
diagnosis from a description of your
symptoms, or spot behavioural traits
that suggest you are susceptible to developing
a disease later in life.
