Artificial Intelligence may be the answer to a great set of issues that are apparent worldwide. AI would reform the human's daily life and bring new solutions to many industries. AI is deeply penetrating into the daily lives of people but still, there is a lot of untapped potential of Artificial Intelligence, especially towards the humanitarian cause. Scientist and AI experts are working to help solve some of the most important social and economic issues of our day. One of the most common problems for developing countries is to tackle poverty and AI can play a vital role.

Natural disasters, war or conflict, unavailability of affordable food, lack of education and life skills are some of the primary causes which lead to poverty. Artificial Intelligence can help to identify the gaps and regions which are most in need of help. This can be done through improving land quality and farming practices, improving the availability of education and helping inhabitants learning new skills to support communities etc.

Poverty is a multi-dimensional phenomenon can be addressed through the provision of basic needs to the world's poor and AI can catalyze the provision of such basics like adequate living standards, income-generating opportunities, empowerment, good quality of work and others. This live discourse covers stories, trends, opinions, and researches on the use of AI to reduce poverty by covering the multidimensional basics defining poverty.

11:12 PM A panel discussion was organised by UNESCO on the role of Artificial Intelligence in the information sphere as part of the discussions on AI, Human Dignity and Inclusive Societies at the AI for Good Summit in Geneva on 29th May 2019. The discussion was organised within the context of changing norms of knowledge generation, access and use as well as their implications for human rights, openness and inclusive access to information.Read more

00:31 AM Are you an optimist or a pessimist when it comes to Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Do you think it will bring apocalyptic scenarios where the disruptive forces of technology take over the world and make us humans redundant or the servants of technology? Or do you think it presents opportunities for solving the world's most pressing challenges? Read more

11:44 PM The time to time innovations in technology has resulted in the creation of new computer science, known as Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence can simply be scribbled down as the replica of human where the intelligence of a human is imbibed in it. Read more

10:48 AM Artificial intelligence (AI) can help eye doctors improve the accuracy of their diagnosis, according to a study from the Google AI research group which shows that physicians and algorithms working together are more effective than either alone. Read more

00:05 AM Earlier we discussed the scope of Artificial intelligence and its usability in various fields. As data scientists and people working on AI are making progress, many possibilities for the application of Artificial Intelligence have been realized. Healthcare continues to be one the sector where it has truly made a major impact that goes beyond convenience and essentially affects human lives.According to a market survey done by Verified Market Intelligence, the worldwide Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare Market was valued at USD 2.62 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 44.24 billion by 2026, pacing up with a CAGR of 49.8% from 2019 to 2026.Artificial intelligence can be used in planning and resource allocation in health and social care services. AI in the health sector can also be used to analyze, identify patterns in large and complex datasets faster and more precisely. AI has the potential to aid early detection of infectious disease outbreaks and sources of epidemics, such as water contamination and others.Some of the areas where AI can play a vital role are:Chatbot nowadays is common on every e-commerce website, customer support website and others. Chatbot has the potential to revolutionize healthcare. Chatbot powered by AI can improve the accuracy of symptoms collection and ailment identification, preventive care, post-recovery care, and feedback procedures substantially and also helpful in reducing the process.Radiology, one of the other areas where AI can play a vital role by image analysis and diagnosis. AI can be helpful to study highlighted areas of interest on a scan which will drive efficiency and reduce human error. Tumor detection on MRIs and CTs are illustrating the progress of AI towards new opportunities for cancer prevention. According to a market report, a medical company in the USA has received FDA clearance for an Artificial Intelligence-powered platform to analyze and interpret Cardiac MRI images.Medicine Discoveries, AI having the potential to identify new therapies from big databases of information on existing medicines, which could be redesigned to target critical threats such as the Ebola virus.AI can facilitate Patient Risk Identification by analyzing vast amounts of historical patient data, AI solutions can also provide real-time support to clinicians to help identify at-risk patients.Now a day’s hospitals are carrying out Surgery with robotic tools which are controlled by AI to carry out specific tasks in keyhole surgery, such as tying knots to close wounds.

7:41 PM Artificial Intelligence (AI) could add $957 billion to the Indian economy according to a report by Accenture. That's a huge amount of money. According to a study, the scope of artificial intelligence is expected to rise by 60% during this year itself. Read more

Healthcare continues to be one the sector where it has truly made a major impact that goes beyond convenience and essentially affects human lives.

According to a market survey done by Verified Market Intelligence, the worldwide Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare Market was valued at USD 2.62 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 44.24 billion by 2026, pacing up with a CAGR of 49.8% from 2019 to 2026.

Artificial intelligence can be used in planning and resource allocation in health and social care services. AI in the health sector can also be used to analyze, identify patterns in large and complex datasets faster and more precisely. AI has the potential to aid early detection of infectious disease outbreaks and sources of epidemics, such as water contamination and others.

Some of the areas where AI can play a vital role are:

Chatbot nowadays is common on every e-commerce website, customer support website and others. Chatbot has the potential to revolutionize healthcare. Chatbot powered by AI can improve the accuracy of symptoms collection and ailment identification, preventive care, post-recovery care, and feedback procedures substantially and also helpful in reducing the process.

Medicine Discoveries, AI having the potential to identify new therapies from big databases of information on existing medicines, which could be redesigned to target critical threats such as the Ebola virus.

AI can facilitate Patient Risk Identification by analyzing vast amounts of historical patient data, AI solutions can also provide real-time support to clinicians to help identify at-risk patients.

Now a day’s hospitals are carrying out Surgery with robotic tools which are controlled by AI to carry out specific tasks in keyhole surgery, such as tying knots to close wounds.
