The coronavirus remains the focus of the world today. A few weeks ago he left China and worries in countries like the United States or, above all, Italy. Now, a team has created an artificial intelligence system that can detect the coronavirus in seconds.
All lovers of technology and, above all, the mobile phone sector already know that we have spent a "hard" February talking about COVID-19, the virus that has taken ahead fairs such as the Mobile World Congress.
At HobbyConsolas we picked up a few hours ago that the GDC (one of the biggest video game developers' appointments) was suspended, but that another one like the E3 2020 (for now), keeps going. One of the keys to treating the coronavirus is to stop it in time, and that is what AI developed by Alibaba is for.
Artificial intelligence is a tool that can help us in many areas. We carry it in our pockets to make better photos, but it is also in autonomous vehicles, in online tools and even in cameras.
In the medical industry, artificial intelligence promises to be key in the future. Recently we told you that I was training artificial intelligence to improve the diagnoses of patients with heart problems and warn of heart failure days before they suffer.
Now, and as we read on The Next Web, Alibaba AI only needs a few seconds to determine whether or not a patient has coronavirus. Through the analysis of more than 5,000 CT scans, this artificial intelligence that has already provided service to more than 100 centres has a success rate of 96%.
Of course, it is not the only one, since Alibaba's rivals in this sector, Ping An, also has an artificial intelligence system that has provided services to more than 1,500 medical institutions with 5,000 patients involved, also a success rate of 96%It is a tremendous advance in medicine, especially in a race against the clock against a new virus, as well as a method that seems effective to start treatment as soon as possible. And, it takes only a few seconds for AI to take a human more than 15 minutes.
If the data is true, it is surprising the speed with which Alibaba's technological R&D team has managed to program artificial intelligence to detect the coronavirus and, above all, that it has already been used to issue diagnoses.
We will see if the coronavirus outbreak that is affecting many industries very negatively will soon subside. In China, for example, many factories are stopped and already made the sale of devices, such as iPhone, deploy.
