An experimental AI system that is learning how to answer health-related questions using reliable sources for patients.
A free, AI-powered search engine for academic and scientific literature that helps researchers discover and understand research papers more efficiently. Developed by the Allen Institute for AI, it uses natural language processing and other AI technologies to understand the content and context of papers, rather than just keywords.
Artificial intelligence (AI) allows computers to accomplish tasks that normally require the use of human intelligence. Creating AI, or an AI computer system, begins when developers feed the system existing data and allow it to “learn.” This learning experience enables AI to understand, infer, communicate, and make decisions similar to, or better than, humans. The use of AI in medicine is an area of rapid growth, with worldwide spending on health care AI technologies estimated to reach US $45 billion by 2026. AI is used across numerous medical specialties, and can be applied to inform medical decision-making in numerous ways, such as through expediting and reducing the costs of drug discovery; offering insight that aids clinicians in diagnosing, prognosing, or optimizing treatment plans at the point of care; and automating medical administration activities such as appointment reminders.
