Canadian study uses artificial intelligence technology to track student substance abuse

Artificial intelligence technology - Young people with drugs

University of Waterloo researchers used AI to monitor trends among high school students. A team of researchers from the University of Waterloo in Canada is using artificial intelligence technology to conduct an analysis of a large, complex public health dataset in order to track substance abuse trends among students in high school. The study employed machine learning from 2016 through 2019 in order to assess a number of factors. Among the dataset factors analyzed by the artificial intelligence technology included those relating to the use of alcohol and other patterns…

Artificial intelligence model accurately predicts novel drug compound response in humans

Artificial intelligence - Medication - AI

The length of time needed from a drug’s creation to its FDA approval is an exceptionally long one. A new application for artificial intelligence in the development of therapeutic compounds has the potential to one day help to reduce the amount of time needed for a new drug to receive its approval from the Food and Drug Administration. The current path takes more than a decade and can cost close to a billion dollars. A CUNY Graduate Center research team has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that may substantially…

Artificial intelligence software can help workers decide if they’re being adequately paid

Artificial intelligence software - Earning - Money

A Stanford researcher has been training AI to predict what a person’s future earnings will be. A researcher from Stanford has been training artificial intelligence software to forecast what a person’s future earnings might be along their current path and help them to decide what a more valuable skillset might be. The researcher wants the AI to help people to better understand the future of a given career path. Employers often withhold salaries at the application stage of the hiring process. That said, Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence researchers…
