THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE THAT CAN BLOW HUMAN PILOTS OUT OF THE SKY IN AIR-TO-AIR COMBAT ACCURATELY PREDICTED TREATMENT OUTCOMES FOR BIPOLAR DISORDER


                                                             
The artificial intelligence that can blow human pilots out of the sky in air-to-air combat accurately predicted treatment outcomes for bipolar disorder,this comes after Cohen's doctoral graduate Nicholas Ernest is founder of the company Psibernetix, Inc., an artificial intelligence development and consultation company. Psibernetix is working on applications such as air-to-air combat, cybersecurity and predictive analytics.

Fifteen of the 20 patients responded well to the treatment.The algorithm used an analysis of two types of patient brain scans, among other data, to predict with 100 percent accuracy which patients responded well and which didn't. And the algorithm also predicted the reductions in symptoms at eight weeks, an achievement made even more impressive by the fact that only objective biological data were used for prediction rather than subjective opinions from experienced physicians.

Ernest's fuzzy logic algorithm is able to sort vast possibilities to arrive at the best choices in literally the blink of an eye.His team developed a genetic fuzzy logic called Alpha capable of shooting down human pilots in simulations, even when the computer's aircraft intentionally was handicapped with a slower top speed and less nimble flight characteristics.

The system's autonomous real-time decision-making shot down retired U.S. Air Force Col. Gene Lee in every engagement.Cohen spent much of his career working with fuzzy-logic based AI in drones. He used a sabbatical from the engineering college to approach the UC College of Medicine with an idea: What if they could apply the amazing predictive power of fuzzy logic to a particularly nettlesome medical problem?UC's new study, funded in part by a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health, identified 20 patients who were prescribed lithium for eight weeks to treat a manic episode. 

Now the UC researchers and Psibernetix are working on a new study applying fuzzy logic to diagnosing and treating concussions, another condition that has bedeviled doctors

The impact on society could be profound,
