Medicine is applying pre-existing solutions, not formulating theories and testing them. Insurance companies wouldn't allow it. This is why learning models are so helpful in this area. Diagnostic tests are cheap relative to an actual doctor. MD-PhD's are a different story, but the average patient is seeing an average doctor. Average doctors are very average at their job.

Comment Modern Medicine is just a glorified Decision Tree. (Score 4, Interesting) 77

and it's ripe for AI intervention. I work in medical diagnostics and I've been telling folks for years that AI will have the biggest impact augmenting doctors and nurses. What I've realized is that your average doctor is just that, average. In some areas AI is better, others it's worse. By bringing down the cost of testing, we can essentially replace many early stage medical professionals and achieve much better outcomes.

The build plate calls for the temp. controller as part of the build plate. All modern 3D printers have the PID controller on the control board, not the build platform. As for purge tower patent, it calls for multiple print heads, mainly IDEX. The load cells are called for being part of the print head, not the bed. So, I think the industry in large is safe from those patents. The image analysis one is absent on how the machine vision functions, so that won't survive. The RFID is the tricky. I don't think as big of a deal as the news is making out

Comment Most AI Patents are Generic (Score 2) 12

Many patent apps are slapping a generic "performed by AI" step in they patents without sufficiently describing how the AI model is structured, trained, how the training data formatted/annotated, etc. I can't speak for other jurisdictions, but these types of patents would not be enforceable in the US (the grand bargain is you get a temporary monopoly for sharing how to make the invention in sufficient detail).
