Chinese robot defeats 15 doctors in the diagnosis of brain tumors – Robotics

It is the system BioMind AI, a robot named by this name, and developed by the research center in artificial intelligence for neurological disorders of the 39 [BeijingHospitalTiantan and Capital Medical University.

This robotic system of Chinese Artificial Intelligence won a team of 15 doctors in the country at the time of diagnosis of brain tumors and bruises to sick patients, in a competition organized by this hospital .

Regarding the prediction of cerebral hematoma, the robot's accuracy was 83%, whereas the specialists guessed right in 63% of the cases.

Gao Peiyi Head of Department of Radiology Hospital Center Tiantan of Beijing, Leader in Neurology and Neurosurgery, said that in both tests the level of accuracy of humans was "quite normal and even better than the average accuracy obtained in ordinary hospitals. "

Preparation of the robot

BioMind AI was formed in the last 10 years by the storage of thousands of images of diseases related to the nervous system which gives the ability to diagnose common neurological diseases such as meningioma and glioma with an accuracy rate of more than 90%.

According to the vice president of the hospital, Wang Yongjun in this contest the important thing is not really who is the winner, because actually [1 9459003] n '39 is not a challenge to face humans with technology, but rather to "help doctors learn and improve through interaction with these teams."

Faced with this, the contest jury pointed out that Artificial intelligence will not replace the professionals, but it will work the same way as the use of a GPS [19659002] On the other hand, Lin Yi, one of the doctors participating in the contest and who was eliminated in the second round, said that she was pleased with the use artificial intelligence that she does not consider a threat but as a "friend".
