IA is able to replace the old doctor

If you are studying and specializing in medical diagnostics, your future may be compromised. That's what Nvidia's machine learning expert, Marcus Peixoto, thinks.Peixoto's alarmed prediction is well founded. Visiting the headquarters of the GPU-maker company in Silicon Valley, he explained that "the market is undergoing a deep transformation and you will have an unfair competitor: the computer."Humanity has been investing in artificial intelligence for many decades, but in recent years, neural network and machine learning technologies have developed so quickly that it is impossible not to question what activities robots will dominate, leaving humans in flip-flops. With the ability to analyze patterns and deal with quantities of information that not even the most privileged of the human brains could control and relate to, machines came to stay when it comes to providing services, including health care and diagnosis.To determine the disease that affects a patient, health professionals rely on clinical tests. Whether they are laboratory tests, such as blood and other body tissues, or imaging tests, such as MRIs, CT scans, or even X-rays, these data require health professionals to relate information, a process that can be complicated, or even even slow, while a patient suffers and has their health conditions aggravated.According to Nvidia professionals, machine learning can automate the analysis and increase the accuracy of diagnostics to the point of replacing about 80 percent of the humans currently working in the field within the next few years.
