AI in healthcare – the global opportunity

A lot is spoken of the tangible benefits that data-driven insights can deliver, and nowhere is this more evident than in healthcare.

Just last month, scientists announced they had developed a new antibiotic, all thanks to data analysis driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI). An algorithm was used to analyse more than one hundred million chemical compounds in just a matter of days. The newly discovered antibiotic can destroy over 30 types of bacteria, and has been recognized in the medical community as a major step forwards in the fight against antibiotic drug resistance.
