Following our recent article covering the emerging concerns around artificial intelligence, we’re highlighting the positive impacts that AI is having on society. By harnessing the power of AI, pioneering researchers across all sectors are utilising technology to push towards a safer, more efficient world with higher standards of living.  

HIGH-POWER COMPUTING IS NEEDED TO SUPPORT AI WORKLOADS

As artificial intelligence becomes more advanced, the demand on data storage and computing power increases, with high-power systems needed to meet these intensive demands. Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is enabling researchers to push the boundaries of AI and enhance its application in the real world.

High-speed compute and storage are essential for AI workloads such as machine learning and deep learning. HPE offers some of the world’s most powerful servers and compute resource to support these applications, ranging from healthcare and drug development, to the creation of autonomous cars, “super-efficient” jet engines and smart cities.

  • breast cancer screening

    DETECTING BREAST CANCER WITH AI 

    A key development in the fight against breast cancer is FathomX’s deployment of AI to revolutionise the cancer screening process. The organisation’s tool analyses mammograms; generating heatmaps of abnormalities and estimating breast cancer risk based on medical history.

    The tool drastically reduces the number of false positives and negatives, making the screening process over 10x faster. Through application of Artificial Intelligence, breast cancer can be detected much sooner, resulting in the quality of life and mortality rates drastically improving amongst women.

  • The analysis of these high-resolution mammogram images requires powerful compute resource that can handle intensive workloads, and HPE’s hardware is instrumental in the deployment of FathomX’s AI model. The HPE Apollo system with NVIDIA Graphics Processing Units facilitates rapid AI model training and optimum lesion identification. While the HPE Edgeline EL1000 Converged Edge system with NVIDIA GPUs enables on-site analysis at clinics, accelerating the screening progress.

    The fusion of artificial intelligence and high-power computing hardware empowers FathomX to drive a new era in breast cancer detection, boosting precision and efficiency in healthcare.
