Artificial Intelligence
AI, ML and Big Data in Healthcare
Artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t a new idea, but it’s only in recent years that our technology has caught up to the point at which it has practical uses. We’re a long way away from true artificial intelligence like the human-like robots and computers that we see in science fiction movies, but we are at least […]
When the X-ray is a deepfake. The Power of RNN Neural Networks
Today, with specific malware, it is possible to modify X-ray images by creating or deleting tumors. This has already happened and will continue to happen in an increasingly digitized healthcare system. What happens if a radiologist is fooled by a hacker who has managed to modify the diagnostic images? The downside of artificial intelligence applied […]
