Charities employ artificial intelligence in hunt for AMD cure

14 March 2018

London-based artificial intelligence specialist BenevolentAI has partnered with Action Against AMD, a group of UK sight loss charities, to research potential treatments for age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

BenevolentAI will use its proprietary artificial intelligence-based platform to review and interpret millions of scientific papers, clinical trial information, images, formulas, patents and additional datasets relating to AMD.

The technology will then “conduct complex reasoning to create a new understanding of the disease,” with the aim of identifying important research areas to pursue.
