Helping doctors manage COVID-19

EurekAlert!

​Researchers from the University of Waterloo, in collaboration with DarwinAI and radiologists from Stony Brook School of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center, have developed an AI tool to assess the severity of COVID-19 lung infections using chest x-rays. This deep-learning AI analyzes the extent and opacity of infections, aligning closely with expert radiologist evaluations. The technology aims to assist doctors in making informed decisions regarding patient care, such as ICU admissions or oxygen therapy, thereby enhancing clinical efficiency during the pandemic

Stephanie Dinkins revolutionizes fine art and artificial intelligence

The Tribune

Stephanie Dinkins, a transmedia artist and professor at Stony Brook University, explores the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and racialized communities through her art. In a virtual talk hosted by the Feminist and Accessible Publishing, Communications, and Technologies speaker series, she discussed how AI can ethically engage with cultural traditions. Dinkins emphasized the role of memory and inclusion as acts of cultural preservation and social resistance, envisioning AI as a persistent living archive. Her projects, such as "Conversations with BINA48," highlight the importance of shared knowledge and racial representation in algorithms and data science, often incorporating community engagement and open-source elements to involve the public in the creation process.
