From YouTube-recommended videos to facial recognition used to unlock smartphones, AI is already being used on a daily basis. The healthcare sector is not an exception as its ability to process vast amounts of medical data helps in diagnostics and medical image analysis. To better understand where AI is already used and what potential it holds, EURACTIV’s Giedrė Peseckytė is talking with Jakob Kather, a medical doctor and a Professor of Clinical artificial intelligence at the computer science and the medical faculty in Dresden. As he says, he is in a “quite unique position at the interface of computer science and medicine,” where with his team he is using artificial intelligence for medical decision-making and developing tomorrow's AI tools for medicine.
