Research Essay (Main Body) Machine Learning in the healthcare sector

The ability of computers to mimic intelligent human behaviour is known as machine learning, which is a particular branch of artificial intelligence (Brown, 2021). There are numerous ways that machine learning and artificial intelligence can be used in medicine, and these applications have many positive effects and advantages.   The first use is for identifying, diagnosing, and treating diseases. A client of IBM's created a predictive AI model that can identify sepsis in infants, and it was proven to be 75% accurate. Additionally, machine learning models may monitor the vital signs of a critically ill patient and can issue a warning if any danger factors appear. Because AI is can learn and store preferences, personalised therapies are now possible. A 24/7 AI virtual assistant that can offer advice or address any questions or concerns a patient might have based on their prior medical history or propensity can therefore be made available to them by the healthcare system.

Finally, machine learning has benefited medical practice. Despite the possibility of some ambiguity or doubt. The advantages greatly exceed the drawbacks. Indeed, machine learning has saved numerous lives, and when new knowledge and technological improvements are made, new opportunities will open up (Davenport & Kalakota, 2019).

Research Essay (Introduction) Machine Learning in the healthcare sector

"Health is the greatest of human blessings," declared Hippocrates II (Goodreads). The majority of people believe this is true, which is why humans have gone to tremendous lengths to create technologies that can help preserve life. A thorough hospital study found that thanks to a novel artificial intelligence system created at Johns Hopkins University that can recognise signs hours sooner than conventional methods, patients have a 20% lower risk of dying from sepsis (Cech, 2022). This essay will go into great detail on the role machine learning plays in healthcare and demonstrate how AI can save countless lives.

Machine learning And AI Machine learning is a branch of Artificial Intelligence, which can be defined as the ability of machines to emulate intelligent human behavior with the use of algorithms, gradually increasing the accuracy. Algorithms are trained to make classifications or predictions with the use of statistical methods( IBM Cloud Education, 2020). (Leetaru, 2019) Machine learning is transforming technology and has a number of benefits to several major sectors, these include; (Soffar, 2019) Healthcare:  Machine learning can be used to identify illnesses, for instance cancer cells or heart diseases. It can also used for specified treatments based on a patient's genetic makeup. With the help of Automation, apps can analyze a patient's condition. Education:  In Education, machine learning can be used to detect and uncover cheating and plagiarism among students. It can help students achieve greater results in school by creating tailor made lessons for each student. Transporta

Computer ethics In AI

Commandment 1: Thou shalt not use a computer to harm other people: If it is unethical to harm people by making a bomb, for example, it is equally bad to write a program that handles the timing of the bomb. Or, to put it more simply, if it is bad to steal and destroy other people’s books and notebooks, it is equally bad to access and destroy their files Commandment 4: Thou shalt not use a computer to steal: Using a computer to break into the accounts of a company or a bank and transferring money should be judged the same way as robbery. It is illegal and there are strict laws against it. (computer skills and research class DMUIC,  2022) (Ucl, 2022) The commandments above are linked to what hackers or people with terrible intentions could use Artificial Intelligence to do. Although all the ten commands are important and no single one is more important the other. This blog would mainly discuss on the three above. There a number of ways in which artificial intelligence could be prone to ta

This an image of a Gantt chart. A Gantt chart is a visual representation of a project schedule. It displays tasks and the progress of these tasks. Additionally, it displays the various of timelines of different tasks and bars. It is one of the most commonly used tools for Project management. For instance heavy building projects which include bridges, dams, highways or software development projects and other projects. (Grant, 2022) Reference Grant, M.

Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence is the field of computer science that deals with the development and programming of computers to be able to reason, to learn, to adapt and to be able to self-correct (Kok et al. (2009) pp.270-299). In essence it is the extension of human behavior and intelligence through the use of computers. (Council of Europe, 2018) There are many benefits of Artificial Intelligence, AI can perform difficult, complex work easily in a short period of time and faster than humans, for instance, complex math equations can be done in an instant, whereas it would take a longer time for a human. Computers, when programmed to can be more efficient than human and can perform multiple tasks at the same time. humans are prone to error unlike computers, which would perform a task in the most perfect way it is programmed to (Khanzode et al. (2020) 9(1) p.3). There are also areas that computers can explore that would almost mean certain death for a human, for instanc

Computer Programming (Juliemmasam, 2020) Computer programming is the process of instructing a computer to perform specific tasks with the writing of code to ease the way of such tasks. Computer programmers are the professionals that write the codes to enable the computer, applications, software programs to operate successfully (Cote, 2022). Programming in itself has a great many advantages, likewise disadvantages. These positive and negative effects center around the individual writing these codes for the programs which is the programmer, without a programmer the codes that enables the computer perform tasks would not exist. Choosing a career of programming can be very beneficial, programming is a well-paid career, for instance in the United States of America the average salary for a computer programmer is $56,587, this lucrative career also leads to high job satisfaction. Programming greatly enhances your problem-solving skills; programming can also be done remotely which can create m

  I have used a large amount of software like Microsoft word, Power point, Outlook, adobe premiere pro and adobe audition to name a few. I have also been learning python programming language and a little bit of Video editing and Web design.   (Admin, 2022) (Source: https://www.masterclass.com/articles/guide-to-film-and-video-editing) The software I would like to learn how to use in DMU is Microsoft excel, the use of spreadsheet and also some other popular Programming languages like Java and also the expand my Knowledge in Web Development with the use of HTML and CSS.     (Lewis, 2019)     (Bekzhassarov, 2017)                                             ( Excel Glossary // excel terminology explained // Perfectxl 2022)   I believe that spreadsheet is very important  in modern day tech because it is very versatile in its uses and Java programming language is highly respected and recognized worldwide.

  The thing the that really attracted me to DMU is the number of international students that are enrolled yearly, this shows the standard of teaching is attractive to both home and international students. Another thing that made me interested is the number of positive reviews on a verified student review website like student crowd and not to mention the diverse and multicultural city of Leicetser. (patel, 2022)   ( Source: http://www.the-artwork-factory.com/vibrant-city-i-orignial-paintings.html ) As I have mentioned before I will be studying Computer Science at DMU. Some modules I will be doing are database design, computer programming, Data structures and algorithm, Object Oriented design and development, software Development, Web development to name a few, of which my favorites are computer programming, algorithms and software development (dmu, 2022). When I am done with my course, I would like to work in Silicon Valley for a tech giant, but it is just dream, I would also like pursu
