US start-up 12 Sigma is looking to tackle China ’s severe shortage of physicians with its AI-powered medical imaging technology. The company has provided its devices without charge to around 200 hospitals across China so it can add as much data as possible to its algorithms in order to encourage hospital administrators to invest in a machine in future. The bottom tier had 10,135 primary hospitals, which tend to concentrate in small towns and lack the financial capacity to pay the one-off device fees. AI and robotics are changing the future of work.
