4 Deploying Artificial Intelligence ^Top learns intricate universal language structures that can predict a user’s thought process quite accurately.3 Google’s deep learning algorithms for lung cancer detection in CT scans outperformed not one but six human radiologists.4 Its deep neural networks recognize sounds to create subtitles for videos; its machine learning translates languages accurately and even transmits directly into its Pixel Bud headphones.5 Apart from the fun consumer technology innovations, AI has also led to a world of public good. Predictive analytics on weather patterns are minimizing crop losses, and robotics from PrecisionHawk and Iron Ox are paving the way for lean operations in agriculture amid labor shortage crises.6 Image recognition technology has aided in finding missing persons, searching records for traf- ficking victims, and identifying unknown soldiers in war photographs. AI has even been helpful in investigating crime, diagnosing rare and genetic diseases 3 Danny Sullivan, “FAQ: All about the Google RankBrain algorithm,” Search Engine Land, June 23, 2016, https:// searchengineland.com/faq-all-about-the-new-google-rankbrain-algorithm-234440. 4 Khari Johnson, “Google’s lung cancer detection AI outperforms 6 human radiologists,” Venture Beat, May 20, 2019, https://venturebeat.com/2019/05/20/googles-lung-cancer-detection-ai-outperforms-6-human-radio- logists/.
