Recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) are turning science fiction into science fact -- and deep learning is at the heart of these advances. These AI systems have the ability to sift through scores of data, recognize patterns, and detect differences that might be imperceptible to humans. Some applications are already achieving remarkable results.
One of the more promising areas of research seeking to tap these capabilities is medicine. Companies like Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG), International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM), and NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) are using the predictive power of AI to provide doctors with additional tools to fight disease.
