AI Uses to Expand from Spam Filtering to Health Support
Micron Technology CEO Sanjay Mehrotra told attendees at a San Francisco area conference, Techonomy 2018, that AI will improve our lives in many ways–ranging from screening spam to IDing your mother to scanning poop to give you feedback that might save you a trip to the doctor.
