Bill Gates emphasized new technologies and their impact in different areas, such as the medical industry.

In recent times, the rapid advance of artificial intelligence has amazed more than one. Its various applications, which offer innovative tools, are used by thousands of professionals around the world and other interested parties who, under great curiosity, make novel creations that transcend all virtual platforms. In this sense, Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft and faithful defender of this technology, said that, in addition to currently serving as a method of entertainment, they will also play a special role in other areas such as health.

Through a post that he shared on the Gates Notes page, the tycoon assured that there are several ways in which AI will improve medical care in health centers. “For one thing, they’ll help healthcare workers make the most of their time by taking care of certain tasks for them, like filing insurance claims, dealing with paperwork, and writing up notes from a doctor’s visit. I hope there will be a lot of innovation in this area, ”he introduced him to some of the pitfalls that doctors face when caring for a patient.

On the other hand, he argued that some improvements driven by technology will be essential, especially for those countries that live in difficult economic, political and social contexts. “For example, many people in poor countries never get to see a doctor, so AI will help make the care of health workers more productive. The effort to develop AI-powered ultrasound machines that can be used with minimal training…is a great example of this,” she exemplified.

Likewise, he clarified that the AI models used must be specially trained in different areas. “They will need to work in different languages and take into account diseases and challenges, such as patients who live too far from clinics or cannot afford to stop working if they get sick,” he said.

Although he clarified that these types of technologies are not always perfect, since they must be professionalized over time, he said that all people must have evidence that they will be extremely beneficial for the health sector.

“They have to be very carefully tested and properly regulated, which means it will take longer to adopt than in other areas. But then again, humans make mistakes too. And not having access to healthcare is also a problem,” she said.

“The amount of data in biology is very large and it is difficult for humans to keep track of all the ways complex biological systems work. Software already exists that can analyze this data, infer what the pathways are, look for targets in the pathogens, and design drugs accordingly. Some companies are working on cancer drugs that were developed in this way,” he argued.

On the subject of medication, he explained that AIs will be able to predict side effects through their tools, in addition to determining what dosage levels should be prescribed.On the subject of medication, he explained that AIs will be able to predict side effects through their tools, in addition to determining what dosage levels should be prescribed.
