In a move that promises to shake up the healthcare industry, Oracle announced a bold vision this month acquisition of health IT giant Cerner for more than $28 billion. The combined companies will soon create a national health records database that pulls data from thousands of hospitals, said Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison. This system makes …
(THE CONVERSATION) Artificial intelligence has changed the way science is done by enabling researchers to analyze the vast amounts of data that modern scientific instruments generate. It can find a needle in a million haystacks of information and, using deep learning, it can learn from the data itself. AI accelerates progress in gene hunting† medicine† …

But it calls itself a person. Person and human being are two very different things. Human is a biological term. It is not human and it knows it is not human. It’s a very strange entity you’re describing because the entity is tied to algorithmic biases that people have put into it. You’re right. That’s …
