A commentary advocates the proper application of artificial intelligence in healthcare and warns of the dangers when machine learning algorithms are misused. An international team of researchers, ...

“I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.” HAL’s cold, if polite, refusal to open the pod bay doors in 2001: A Space Odyssey has become a defining warning about putting too much trust in ...

The perils of leaving important decisions to computer algorithms are pretty easily imagined (see, e.g., “Minority Report,” “I, Robot,” “War Games”). In recent years, however, algorithms’ job ...

Doctors use algorithms to help guide their medical care, such as whether a patient should get breast cancer screening or whether they should undergo a cesarean section to give birth — but many of ...

AI algorithms can analyze transactions in real time, detect anomalies and patterns that may indicate fraudulent activities, and alert banks to take appropriate actions. An example of fraud detection ...

As the world races to build artificial superintelligence, one maverick bioengineer is testing how much unprogrammed intelligence may already be lurking in our simplest algorithms to determine whether ...

Lack of transparency and biased training data mean these tools are not fit for purpose. If we can’t fix them, we should ditch them. Yeshimabeit Milner was in high school the first time she saw kids ...
