As part of an international team of five researchers, Tanja Schultz, Professor of Cognitive Systems within the Faculty of Mathematics / Computer Science, has published an article in The Lancet Infectious Diseases – the world’s leading journal on research into infectious diseases.
The article is part of a three-part series on AI and infectious diseases and highlights how artificial intelligence will radically change healthcare. Data analysis can be used, for example, to detect disease outbreaks earlier, model disease progression, or better tailor public health measures. In the research sector, AI can help, among other things, to design active ingredients or find new areas of application for existing drugs, which significantly reduces development time and costs. At the same time, the article also identifies the challenges of using AI: Data is often fragmented and difficult to compare, and many AI models lack clinical validation. There are also unresolved issues regarding data protection and regulation.
The four additional authors, Anna Odone, Chiara Barbati, Silvia Amadasi, and David B. Resnik, conduct research in the fields of public health, medicine, and bioethics. In general, the journal is aimed at professionals in these fields. In information boxes, Tanja Schultz explains the technical terms used in the articles and background information on AI, such as machine learning, deep learning, and computational linguistics, to the interdisciplinary specialist audience.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
