Different applications of Artificial Intelligence

An interesting take on how different applications of Artificial Intelligence can improve our lives, and make us re-think machine learning. I recommend giving it a read here

Snippet:
Parkinson’s disease is the second most common age-related neurodegenerative disease, following Alzheimer’s disease. According to the Parkinson’s Foundation, in the United States, healthcare costs related to this disease total about 25 billion dollars per year alone. Quality of life for Parkinson’s patients relies heavily on how early treatment starts, therefore requiring a correct diagnosis. It motivates the authors of this paper and presents a machine learning approach to tackling the misdiagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. They collect smartphone data on 1853 participants with and without Parkinson’s disease. Specifically, they collect signals from walking, voice, tapping, and memory tests using a smartphone application. As previously mentioned, Parkinson’s is a progressive neurodegenerative disease. Therefore, they use the temporal nature of the data to detect the disease.

In what other ways do you think technology will change our lives in the future?
