To be the boss of AI, understand how it works before it works you out. With a live demonstration of an AI failing and succeeding, Shiv explains how AI is saving lives by detecting dangerous brain conditions well before humans can. Shiv Akarsh Meka is a Principal Data Scientist at the Royal Perth Hospital in Western Australia. He is passionate about employing mathematical methods to improve patient care. In his current role, he develops predictive algorithms to make timely predictions of patient deterioration and provide useful, real- time information to clinicians. Prior to joining Royal Perth Hospital, he was WA Health’s Lead Data Scientist where he applied data science practices to a range of health care applications from anonymising health data to determining an individual’s identity from sparse information.
