Artificial intelligence will be part of our professional lives in the future. Nevertheless, instead of panicking that it will take our jobs, we should focus on how it will enhance what we can do.
And the best first step is to get used to it and start playing around with algorithms without stakes. We dig into this subject in this article and a YouTube video.
AI comes in a variety of shapes and forms, and chances are you've already used AI even today.
Many people are opposed to AI, yet it will emerge in more and more areas of life in the future, so it's time to start embracing it. How? Discover more in this video!
Artificial intelligence will transform healthcare. In some areas, it has already arrived, extending the diagnostic capabilities of radiologists or dermatologists, supporting triage decisions in emergency units, looking for promising new drug candidates or allowing locked-in patients to communicate with others.

What can we expect from them in the future? Will there be hospitals at all in a decade’s time? We hope this comprehensive review will arm policymakers, healthcare professionals, and people on the business side of care to better see what is coming and what the hospital of the future will be like.

With the establishment of the Walmart Healthcare Research Institute, the retailing giant has entered the field of clinical trials!
"Walmart said the venture is meant to improve diversity in clinical trials, focusing on interventions and medications that can make an impact in underrepresented communities." It can become a valuable new revenue stream for the company.
Now, just after we played with the text-to-image algorithm (see above), here is an application that can transform text into video.
I'm wondering how it could be useful in healthcare. There sure will be a long way from fluffy baby sloths to practical applications.
