Google and the United Kingdom three hospitals: access to 1.6 million patients ' medical data-artificial intelligence, Google-IT information

IT information news on April 30, the future is the age of big data, which nobody can deny, the Internet age the sheer volume of data related to all aspects of people's lives, these data to the enterprise, as well as "priceless" in a war for the data, Google recently had a big harvest. Foreign media reports, Science Magazine New Scientist (NewScientist) on Friday unveiled the Google-United Kingdom the national health service (National Health Service) is a data-sharing agreement between. Google partnership at three hospitals in London, 1.6 million patients ' medical data to be shared to Google its DeepMind artificial intelligence company, as part of a research project.

DeepMind, you don't know, but the development team AI AlphaGo of its members must be familiar with, in the previous contest and the World Chess Champion Li Shishi 4:1 to crush opponents, showed surprising strength, and behind the birth of AlphaGo, ultimately, mass-data support. It is reported that DeepMind this research project focused on the design of a kidney analysis tools. DeepMind three London hospital provides patient medical information, including HIV infection or in patients with abortion records, while some, such as pathology and radiology test results. Although these data cannot be used to identify a patient's personal identity, but it also has raised concerns about the privacy of health records.

But managing the agreement, Royal Free NHS Trust spokesman said the company did not identify the patient identity data sharing DeepMind, which only its ownership of the key.

Compared to these, DeepMind this research would probably be more a cause for curiosity, are the basis for artificial intelligence used in the medical field do?

谷歌与英国三家医院合作：获得160万病人医疗数据 - 人工智能,谷歌 - IT资讯

IT资讯讯 4月30日消息，未来是大数据的时代，这一点谁也不能否认，互联网时代产生的庞大数据关系到人民的生活的方方面面，这些数据对于企业而言，也可为“价值连城”，而在争夺数据的战争中，谷歌近日又有一大收获。外媒报道，科技杂志《新科学家（NewScientist）》在上周五公开了谷歌与英国国民健康服务(National Health Service）之间的一份数据共享协议。谷歌于英国伦敦三家医院达成合作，160万病人的医疗数据被共享给谷歌旗下人工智能公司DeepMind，作为一项研究项目的一部分。

对于DeepMind，大家并不熟悉，但其旗下开发团队开发的人工智能AlphaGo大家一定熟悉不过了，在此前和世界围棋冠军李世石的较量中，以4：1碾压对手，展现了惊人的实力，而AlphaGo诞生的背后，就少不了海量大数据的支持。据悉，DeepMind本次研究的项目侧重于设计一个肾脏分析工具。伦敦三家医院向DeepMind提供了病人的医疗信息，包括了患者艾滋病感染状况或流产记录等，同时还有一些病理结果及放射测试结果等。尽管这些数据不能被用于识别病人的个人身份，但这也引起了人们对医疗健康记录隐私的担忧。

不过管理这项协议的Royal Free NHS Trust公司发言人表示并没有将识别病人身份的数据分享给DeepMind，这些数据的密钥只有其自己掌握。

相比这些，DeepMind本次的研究或许更能引起人们的好奇，难道是在为人工智能应用于医疗领域做基础？
