What's AI ?

Artificial intelligence, also known as AI, is a technology that enables machines to produce solutions to complex problems like humans and mimic the way people think. Codes containing 0 and 1, think like you, analyze, and make decisions just like you. In other words, algorithms that mimic the human brain.

What isn't AI ?

Although AI is used intertwined with processes such as digitalization, industry 4.0 and automation, AI is only one of the tools that help digitalization and automation. Although methods such as deep learning, machine learning, reinforcement learning are a part of AI, rule-based systems are different from artificial intelligence when we say automation. Rule-based algorithms do not have the capacity to learn from data on their own, they need to be optimized manually.

Limitations

  • Data requirement
  • Transferability
  • No Emotions
  • Explainability
  • Lacking Out of Box Thinking

Types

  • Image recognition
  • Classification
  • Natural language processing (NLP)
  • Reinforcement Learning
  • Classic ML 

Specialities

Mostly using in:

  • Radiology
  • Surgery
  • Dermatology
  • Pathology
  • Eye diseases
  • Gastroenterology

Limitation in Health

  • Black-box effect
  • Require high quality data
  • Human-bias
  • Hard to an objective evaluation of real-world data
  • Narrow applications (yet)

Is AI replacing doctors ?
