Dr Beena Ahmed, an Associate Professor at UNSW Sydney, believes that using artificial intelligence and machine learning on large-scale medical data could be the key to helping us all live longer in the future. She will be taking part in a UNSW Engineering the Future event on March 23 entitled ‘Technology and longevity – how far can we go?’ and believes collecting and analysing large amounts of data using AI could be the next big thing in medicine. AI systems may be able to make predictions on a person’s potential health outcomes if a similarly large amount of data had been collected and could be analysed quickly and efficiently.
