GPT-3’s Next Mark: Diagnosing Alzheimer’s Through Speech

There’s one deceptively simple early sign of Alzheimer’s not often talked about: a subtle change in speech patterns. Increased hesitation. Grammatical mistakes. Forgetting the meaning of a word, or mispronouncing common words—or favorite phrases and idioms—that used to flow naturally. Scientists have long thought to decode this linguistic degeneration as an early indicator of Alzheimer’s. One idea is to use natural language software as a “guide” of sorts that hunts down unusual use of language. Sounds simple, right? Here’s the problem: everyone talks differently. It seems obvious, but it’s a giant headache for AI. Our speech patterns, cadence, tone, and…

Artificial Intelligence’s Promise And Peril

AS ALGORITHMS ANALYZE MAMMOGRAMS AND SMARTPHONES CAPTURE LIVED EXPERIENCES, RESEARCHERS ARE DEBATING THE USE OF AI IN PUBLIC HEALTH. John Quackenbush was frustrated with Google. It was January 2020, and a team led by researchers from Google Health had just published a study in Nature about an artificial intelligence (AI) system they had developed to analyze mammograms for signs of breast cancer. The system didn’t just work, according to the study, it worked exceptionally well. When the team fed it two large sets of images to analyze—one from the UK and one from the U.S.—it reduced false positives by 1.2 and 5.7 percent and…

The Singularity: When Will We Transition To A Dictatorship Of Robots?

Technological Singularity: the moment when robots reach a level of intelligence that is superior to the current level of human reasonableness or ability to predict the outcomes of unrestrained technological growth. As a consequence, the economic, cultural and political singularity of human civilization follows. And although the singularity is still the subject of many Hollywood films and fictions, the possibility of this hypothetical moment genuinely approaching is looking more and more likely. The process of replacing the biological by technological has already approached the substitution of a human by some algorithm. Thanks to technological acceleration and the accumulation of historical time,…

Helping Advance Huntington’s Disease Research By Using AI To Map the Human Brain

Neurodegenerative diseases are disorders that progressively affect neurons in the brain, altering their function and causing their death. They include many different disorders, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, which are among the top causes of disability and death and cost hundreds of billions of dollars per year in the U.S. alone (1). Huntington’s disease (HD), which is hereditary and caused by a single gene mutation, is particularly devastating. According to the Huntington’s Disease Society of America, more than 200,000 Americans are currently at risk of inheriting the genetic-based disease. People with HD show symptoms that start as subtle cognitive and motor changes,…
