China-Singapore Online Online July 11 Question: Artificial intelligence erects "protective wall" Li Lanjuan, Wu Fan, Zhang Wenhong talk about wisdom against "epidemic disease"

  Author Zheng Yingying

  During the epidemic prevention and control period, from health codes to remote diagnosis and treatment, artificial intelligence assists in all aspects. At the Healthy Cloud Summit of the 2020 World Artificial Intelligence Conference Cloud Summit held from July 10 to 11, Li Lanjuan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Wu Fan, vice president of Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University, and Zhang Wenhong, director of the Department of Infection, Huashan Hospital, Fudan University shared Their views on artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence erects "protective wall"

  Li Lanjuan said that in this epidemic, artificial intelligence and big data have played a very important role in curbing the spread of the epidemic and conducting epidemic research and judgment. For example, when an infected person appears, through scientific and technological means, they can quickly track the movement of people, find contacts, isolate them, and control the source of infection. She said that during the epidemic, everyone carried out remote consultations and remote consultations. These Internet medical models will also play a very important role in promoting future medical reforms.

  Wu Fan also said that to deal with infectious diseases, "fast" is very important, otherwise it will cause a lot of spread. Using the traceability of artificial intelligence big data, you can quickly define the infected person, manage it in time, and erected between the crowd and the infected person." Protective wall". She introduced that after each hospital found an infectious case, it diagnosed a single patient. Without intelligent analysis and dynamic perception of big data, A hospital reported one (case) and B hospital reported one, and the two cases could not be related. With artificial intelligence big data, not only can we understand whether there are correlations between scattered cases in different places, but we can also use the big data to make in-depth analysis of the time and environment of cases.

Artificial intelligence replaces doctors?

  "People can't do nothing, let the machines do everything. This is not a good thing. So, in the future development of big data, I personally think that it must be precise, what things can increase us, (artificial intelligence) is not replacing us , Replacing meaningless," Zhang Wenhong said at the meeting. In his view, human beings must make full use of technology, but they cannot superstition technology.

  Wu Fan said that machines are going to be out of reach of those people's brains. She said that the human brain has many boundaries, educational background, knowledge system, human experience, etc. are limited, but the machine can bring together the wisdom of several generations, "The machine is not a doctor, but many doctors , A collection of smart heads, this time there is a possibility, I can’t solve it, but there are many infinite potentials in the machine that can help me improve the diagnosis. Therefore, I don’t think that the machine replaces the person, or the person uses the machine, but Human and machine are perfectly combined, and human and big data artificial intelligence are perfectly combined."

Artificial intelligence needs to "feed"

  "Behind excellent prevention and control is the dedication of medical personnel, and more importantly, scientific and technological support." Wu Fan said. She said that in the process of epidemic prevention and control, measures must be taken before the epidemic, and this relies on artificial intelligence big data plus experts.

  "In terms of artificial intelligence, machines have a learning function. You have to continuously feed them "materials". This "materials" are data, which can become smarter by itself," Wu Fan said.

  The content released by the Ministry of Science and Technology in May this year shows that China is actively paying attention to the two technical routes of artificial intelligence based on big data and artificial intelligence in brain-like research. Specific measures include: layout and construction of a batch of new-generation artificial intelligence open innovation platforms (15 innovative platforms have been constructed, mainly including basic hardware and software, smart medical care, smart supply chain, and smart city governance, etc.); and the establishment of a new generation of artificial intelligence innovation Development of pilot zones (11 pilot zones have been supported in Beijing, Shanghai, etc.), etc. (Finish)
