As of 2024, nearly 7 million people across the U.S. are living with Alzheimer’s disease. By 2050, that number is expected to double. It's a daunting prospect that we may collectively try to ignore in the hopes that it never comes true. However, as humanity's brightest minds search for solutions, the sciences have an ace up their sleeves: artificial intelligence.
In February, researchers from the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) published a paper in Nature Aging detailing their efforts, and successes, in using AI to help identify the early warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease.
