In the future, an AI may diagnose eye problems

In the future, an AI may diagnose eye problems The computer will see you now. Artificial intelligence algorithms may soon bring the diagnostic know-how of an eye doctor to primary care offices and walk-in clinics, speeding up the detection of health problems and the start of treatment, especially in areas where specialized doctors are scarce. The first such program — trained to spot symptoms of diabetes-related vision loss in eye images — is pending approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. While other already approved AI programs help doctors examine medical images, there’s “not a specialist looking over the shoulder of [this] algorithm,” says Michael Abràmoff, who founded and heads a company that developed the system under FDA review, dubbed IDx-DR. “It makes the clinical decision on its own.” IDx-DR and similar AI programs, which are learning to predict everything from age-related sight loss to heart problems just by looking at eye images, don’t follow preprogramm...

Are current encryption techniques safe enough?

Hey there this is SciTech Revel and here I am Aman. As I was wandering over the waves of Internet I landed ti my stack exchange feed and then I read Question by TOBIAS KIENZELER. and then I felt that the question Really makes sense!! So here I want to share some answers to this Question with you people. #1st Answer As usual, journalism talking about technical subjects tends to be fuzzy about details... Assuming that a true  Quantum Computer  can be built, then: RSA, and other algorithms which rely on the hardness of integer factorization (e.g. Rabin), are toast.  Shor's algorithm  factors big integers very efficiently. DSA, Diffie-Hellman ElGamal, and other algorithms which rely on the hardness of  discrete logarithm , are equally broken. A variant of Shor's algorithm also applies. Note that this is true for every group, so elliptic curve variants of these algorithms fare no better. Symmetric encryption is  weakened ; namely, a quantum c...
