AI ’ s Unforeseen Medical Discoveries: The Curious Case Of Unusual Associations
Artificial intelligence can do a plethora of astonishing things, which has been discussed thoroughly in the past year. We train models to assist medical work, from administration to image analysis, from triage to mental health support. And every now and then AI has curious medical discoveries, detecting things that – to the best of our human knowledge – should not be detectable from the input data. Like knowing the race of the patient from chest X-rays alone. These unusual associations present brand-new challenges to medical professionals.

Artificial Intelligence Discovers Unusual Associations in Medicine
Artificial intelligence does wonders in healthcare. The technology helped issue the first COVID-19 warning before the WHO and CDC did so. It can slash the phenomenon of alarm fatigue. IBM’s Watson Health leverages the power of A.I. to bring drugs to the market faster. And it does so while cutting costs by over 50%.
Speaking of IBM Watson, while the algorithm got its name from the company’s founder Thomas J. Watson, there’s another pop culture figure attached to that name.
