Hello Chinasa, Tell us a bit about the work you do at Apple as a Health Incubation Intern, and about the work you did at Microsoft as a Biological Computation Research Intern. How advanced is the current state of AI as regards assisting medical practitioners with the diagnosis of infectious diseases? As an example, could cutting-edge AI correctly identify a particular type of skin disease and even proffer treatment just by processing a scanned image? Lastly, Do you share Elon Musk's concern about "general" or "strong" AI with an open-ended utility function? In your opinion, what is likely to be the first mainstream product powered by "general" or "strong" AI?

Hi Cyrus, I'm unable to talk much about my work at Apple but I am currently developing new ways to leverage Responsible AI methodologies in health sensing applications. At Microsoft Research, I developed domain-specific computational models for bacterial quorum sensing which is how bacteria communicate with each other.

I would say that the current state of AI is pretty advanced with regards to the specific techniques but many of these implementations are not production-level ready or haven't been tested in real-life clinical settings to actually be of any use. Yes, what you described is possible but there still remain many issues with bias in these and other types of applications.
