Towards AI safely used for our health. Here is how! - [Maria Zuluaga]

[Written by Th. Matzakou]

Artificial intelligence (AI), the broad discipline of creating intelligent machines, has been very well established in the everyday technology and adopted in popular culture more than any other technological achievement. Daily, we interact with intelligent systems while sending an email, unlocking our phones, using social media, receiving recommendations for shopping, travel, entertainment etc. AI is using technology like machine learning (ML)*, natural language processing (NLP)*, computer vision etc., in order to carry out tasks which normally require human intelligence, for example problem solving or learning. But how much can we trust AI for applications that are critical like healthcare, aviation or security? To illustrate the importance of this question, imagine a computer vision system providing false information on skin cancer detection, or a self-driving car unable to detect an obstacle in front of it. Such critical applications require absolutely rapid identification, timely responses, reliability and security assurance, topics that are currently addressed by researchers.
