No one can avoid artificial intelligence. It shows up in our Google searches. Computer programs keep asking if we want to use AI. And people are turning to tools like ChatGPT for advice—and even friendship.
Researchers across the University of Arkansas are also using AI. How they use artificial intelligence and machine learning is often quite different from the AI tools we experience in our day-to-day life.
On the latest Short Talks from the Hill podcast, associate professor of chemical engineering Will Richardson talks about how he has been using AI to diagnose masked hypertension.
"The model is just able to pick up on real subtle things in these images and in these scans that the doctor can't see," Richardson said.
Before AI becomes common in medicine, the tools will need to be refined. Many ethical and legal concerns will also have to be addressed. But AI looks to be part of the future of healthcare.
You can hear the entire conversation with Richardson by visiting ArkansasResearch.UArk.edu or downloading Short Talks wherever you get your podcasts.
