Healthcare 1 of 13 industries to be radically changed by AI

Healthcare, including imaging, is one of 13 industries that will soon be “revolutionized" by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies, according to a new report published in Forbes. The listing was developed by a group of chief information officers, chief technology officers and executives from the Forbes Technology Council.
