5 developments in AI last week

Here are five recent studies and projects with implications for artificial intelligence in healthcare, as covered by Becker's Hospital Review:
New Hyde Park, N.Y.-based Northwell Health is integrating AI software into its EMR at 15 hospitals in an attempt to decrease avoidable readmissions.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's computer science and AI laboratory in Cambridge are working to create an AI algorithm that can "de-bias" other AI systems.
Researchers from the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence — a Seattle-based research institute funded by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen — created a Pictionary-style game to teach AI "common sense."
A research team has created a new machine-learning framework that distinguishes between low- and high-risk prostate cancer.
Although AI is being promoted as a way to diagnose patient conditions and predict patients' risk of being admitted to an intensive care unit, the use of AI in medicine could worsen health disparities, Dhruv Khullar, MD, a physician at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City, argued in an op-ed.
