Bill Gates Talked With Google Employees About Using AI To Analyze Ultrasound Images of Unborn Children (cnbc.com)
Bill Gates said he talked to Google researchers about the application of artificial-intelligence technology in healthcare. "While Microsoft and Google are arch-competitors in many areas, including cloud computing and artificial intelligence research, the visit is an example of how Gates' broad interest in technology trumps Microsoft's historical rivalries with other tech companies," reports CNBC. From the report: Gates talked about the use of AI in weapons systems and autonomous vehicles before arriving at the subject of health care. "In the medical field, you know, we just don't have doctors. Most people are born and die in Africa without coming near to a doctor," said Gates, who is co-chair of the nonprofit Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which concerns itself with improving global health among other things. "We're doing a lot of work with analyzing ultrasound, and we can do things like sex-blind the output, because we're not having anybody actually see the image. We can tell you what's going on without revealing the gender, which is, of course -- when you do that, it drives gendercide. And yet, we're doing the analysis, the medical understanding, in a much deeper way, and that's an example where it's all done with a lot of machine learning."
"I was meeting with the guys at Google who are helping us with this this morning, and there's some incredible promise in that field, where, in the primary health-care system, the amount of sophistication to do diagnosis and understand, for example, "Is this a high-risk pregnancy?' 'Yes.' 'Let's escalate that person to go to the hospital level,' even though you couldn't afford to do that on a widespread basis. So this stuff is going to be very domain-specific."

if people knew how insensitive imaging technologies are and how it's mostly just an opinion of an interpretation of noise on a screen they would be terrified of doctors
they can't even get their shit together with the appendix
so hell yeah automate these fuckers into the 21st century and put healthcare into the hands of the patient not the quacks behind the curtain
What a neuter.
Yeah, I've seen Deep Dream images. Puppy eyes and muzzles all over her fetus is just what every expectant mother wants to see.
who is General Failure and why is he trying to read my drive?
On a clear disk you can seek forever.
For that cunt Ken Doll to spew some more diarrhea in this story.

He is such a sweet guy and so helpful. Bless his tiny little heart. .Net because Java was harmful to developers and you know, he really believed Philippe Kahn wanted to do something different.
You know he was just trying to help people get on the Internet when he started paying people to use Microsoft Internet Explorer instead of Netscape Navigator.
And he hired the top software architects away from Borland to create Microsoft

How dare you describe those blobs of parasitic meats as ***UNBORN CHILDREN*** !!!
We females have the right to our own body, ***AND WE DO NOT WANT THOSE PARASITES INSIDE OURBODY*** !!!
I would have just gone with, 'FUCK M$ invading your privacy before you are even fucking born', let me guess what next, an RFID chip inserted at birth, fixed to your skull near your auditory canal, using bio electrical currents for energy listening in and some chirpy fuckwit paper clip 'Telling' you want to do, wired into Windows anal probe 10 at birth.
Sorry M$, you have out and out proven, you are part of the POS greed obsessed problem and most definitely not part of the solution for anything, just a scummy POS psychopathically manipulative and socially destructive corporation. Obsessed by nothing but your greed and ego and see people as nothing but something to be exploited, except in the PR=B$ but everyone knows that stuff is just marketing to cover up the kind of anti-consumer corporation M$ really is, tell me where do you pay your taxes, where the product is made or perhaps where it is sold or just another pack of tax cheating cunts whilst demanding billions in government funds.
Chaos - everything, everywhere, everywhen
Contrary to popular belief, the population growth rate in developed countries is nearly zero. Nearly all of the world's population growth is happening in developing countries, and Africa has the highest growth rate by far. So as well-intentioned as these humanitarian measures are (saving babies, food, medicine, clean water, etc), they actually exacerbate the suffering of these people. Medicine, clean water, and saving babies will cause their population to increase faster than it should be growing, forcing them to spread already-limited resources even thinner. Food aid puts local farmers out of business by depressing the market value of their crops, and discouraging others from taking up farming.
The correct way to help them is to help them develop their economies - improve their education systems (that's what the One Laptop per Child project was trying to do), help them build their civil infrastructure, keep criminals and militants in check, and promote private businesses. Then they can train their own doctors, build their own hospitals, grow their own food, pump their own clean water, and save their own babies. As barbaric as it sounds, right now the babies need to die at a high rate to keep their population growth in check. The high infant mortality rate there is symptom of their undeveloped economy. Treating the symptom with addressing the root cause just exacerbates the problem and their suffering.
If you remember the mosquito laser zapper, that never was finished, Gate's history of delivering on these subjects leaves a lot to be desired.
Google are trying to kill *ALL* mosquitoes using genetics, which will never be rolled out as too risky and vast overkill.
Gates hired someone to do the laser zapping thing for the PR result, and never followed through with a safer smaller project after the PR release.
So the combination of Google and Gates will be unlikely to deliver any solution that's moderate or practical. Lots of PR kudos for them, but nothing actually concrete.
Use terms like 'unborn children' and people will accuse you of trying to subtly push a side in the abortion debate.
The same thing will happen if you use 'fetus' instead though. I can't think of any term that wouldn't potentially lead to that outcome.
But he's an awesome, awesome dude. Wish more people with influence were like him.
That's an excellent idea, you could do builtin 'wrong thoughts suppressor', your slaves i mean workers will never again complain about low pay or shit work conditions. Go democracy and freedom of speech, technology for the better future :D
It will happen too, cause you all are just dumb bootlickers and yes men. hahaha
Also talk Google into creating AI to stop robo-calls, as long as you're on the Google bandwagon.
Google is ground zero of the baby killing abortionist cult. I'm sure all they were interested in was to remotely abort babies via ultra sound weapons.
And people say this community died off years ago to be replaced by a bunch of twatty children...
I prefer to think of these clusters of cells as 'potential abortions'
When will we free all the innocent men from jail that simply performed mid life abortions on other cellular clusters?
It's time for change
Sure. If we can get those babies in Federal databases before they're even born, so much the better. Homeland Security is totally on board.
You're probably right. However, you should recognize you, yourself, have been pwned by memes, such as the "Have sex!" variant designed to dissuade political participation, and could yourself be a paid astroturfing shitstirrer.
Nobody knows. Which is the problem.
