Recently an enterprise called Kernel has been created to research and produce methods which are able to enhance human intellect. The founders believe that artificial intelligence will be one of the biggest businesses. They're currently doing research which shows how the brain works and trying to be able to copy it. It is hoped that this research could help to cure memory diseases by potentially building a synthetic implant for the hippocampus (the area of the brain which is involved long term memory, personality and planning) and this new technology has already found to be successful in animal experiments.
A Differentiable Neural Computers are able to learn and make use of data without human input and can use it's working memory. A DNC has been able to use the tube and plan journeys where it takes in to account change overs from a tube map. However memory storage has so far been an issue for DNCs.
Artificial intelligence could have a major role in medicine and could be used to diagnose conditions and suggest treatments; it could potentially be more precise than human doctors and lead to more successful treatments and increased efficiency, as a recent study in the US has found that many treatments are unsuccessful due to incorrect diagnoses. Machine learning algorithms could be used to analyse numerous statistics to find patterns and predict a patients risk of developing certain diseases based on their health report. These machines could also be used to analyse body tissues to look for cancerous cells with increased accuracy.
