The most advanced AI technology to date is deep learning, a technique in which scientists train machines by providing them with different types of data. Over time, the machine makes decisions, solves problems, and performs other types of tasks on its own based on the data set provided to it. Deep learning is impressive because it can diagnose deadly diseases. Deep Patient uses Deep Patient at Mount Sinai Hospital.
Data from more than 700,000 people, including doctor visits and patient test results, were incorporated into the algorithm. When the Mount Sinai team tested its effectiveness, the AI algorithm was quite accurate in predicting diseases based on patient records. But the puzzling thing is that it can also predict whether a person is prone to schizophrenia or other psychiatric disorders in the future. Joel Dudley, PhD, director of the Institute for Next Generation Health Care, who leads the team, admitted that they can create such advanced AI models, but they have no idea how they work.
The most powerful AI machines no longer rely on commands provided by humans. Instead, they create their own algorithm based on the data and the desired result provided to them.
