Episode 23 - Why AI Now?
This episode's guests: Ahmed Hosny
Our guest is Ahmed Hosny, a machine learning research scientist working with medical imaging data from Dana Farber Cancer Institute. He is a writer and blogger and has developed a framework to evaluate AI startups in pathology.
This episode, we are talking about artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and deep learning. We will touch on the history of AI and how it has been used to train neural networks. Pathology seems to be behind radiology with the number AI start-ups. We will find out some of the reasons why. We will discuss how the lack of format standards in imaging has slowed the growth of AI. We will examine potential uses of AI in clinical, academic and research environments.
