Superintelligence

Hi I’m Taki.

This month, I am learning Diagnostic Radiology in Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

I am now writing this in a student working space in Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, so please bear with my poor English.

Today, we had Radiology Grand Round in which Dr. Keith J. Dreyer, Vice Chairman of Radiology and Director of the Center for Clinical Data Science at Massachusetts General Hospital, told us a very interesting story about data science and artificial neural network.

He is now working hard to improve today’s medical technology by using data science and mechanical learning system or AI.

Now Massachusetts General Hospital is cooperating with NVIDIA, which is a computer technology company, known for announcing the creation of DGX-1, the world's first deep learning supercomputer, in applying the healthcare such as diagnosis or treatment based on artificial intelligence.

According to Dr. Dreyer, based on the huge amount of clinical data such as phenotypic, genetics and imaging data and enough “learning system”, the DGX-1 will process those data to give clinicians guidelines for medical decisions including the field of radiology.

The most impressive and also even “horrifying” thing for me about this project is that they mimic the medical educational system, in which there are learning materials, medical school and clinical practices. However, this thing is not for eliminating the doctors’ work and is even for enhancing their interpretations.

You can actually enjoy artificial neural network or intelligence in the links below!
