A Chines hospital on Thursday launched free consultations featuring artificial-intelligence (AI) cameras to detect eye diseases, which are major causes of blindness.
Deqing county hospital in Guangdong Province became the first to use the device, co-developed by China’s search engine Baidu and Sun Yat-sen University, to serve the general public, Baidu told Xinhua.
The instrument is capable of diagnosing three types of eye disorders — diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and macular degeneration. It scans the eyes and generates a report in 10 seconds, all done without the need for an doctor to be present.
With an accuracy rate of 94 percent, it had previously been piloted in hospitals in nine Chinese provinces, according to Baidu.
Though it may be interpreted as AI making the doctors lose their jobs, Baidu said the new tool aimed to help cut the waiting line at the eye doctor’s short, especially in China’s rural regions.
Eye diseases are a major cause of blindness in the developing world, where the short supply of eye doctors and instruments make it difficult to check and treat in time. China, with a population of 1.39 billion, has only thousands of eye doctors capable of analyzing eye screening photos.
Xu Yanwu, a Baidu engineer developing the instrument, said the AI cameras were specifically designed to address the lack of medical instruments and eye doctors at grassroots health facilities.

C The AI instrument is invented by two universities.
D The eye doctors feel uneasy about the AI instrument.
5. What is the main idea of this passage?

D .Eye doctors are in danger of losing their jobs because of the AI instrument.
The Google-owned computer AlphaGo is retiring from playing humans in the ancient Chinese game of Go after roundly defeating the world's top player this week, its developer said on Saturday.
AlphaGo defeated the 19-year-old world number one Ke Jie of China on Saturday to sweep a three-game series that was closely watched as a measure of how far artificial intelligence (AI) has come. AlphaGo last year became the first computer programme to beat an elite player in a full Go match, and its success has been hailed due to the game's difficulty.
AlphaGo has a great number of moves, and it also has the human-like "thinking" and strategy. But this week's contests in the eastern Chinese city of Wuzhen were its last, said DeepMind Technologies, the London-based AI company that developed AlphaGo and which Google acquired in 2014.
In a blog post, DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis said AlphaGo's developers will turn to "the next set of challenges, developing advanced general program that could one day help scientists as they work out some of our most difficult problems". These could include "finding new cures for diseases, dramatically reducing energy consumption, or inventing new materials," he said. "If AI systems prove they are able to discover significant new knowledge and strategies in these fields too, the breakthroughs could be truly remarkable. We can’t wait to see what comes next."
Go involves two players laying black and white stones on a grid, trying to capture the most territory. Invented nearly 3,000 years ago in China, it is played worldwide but most popular in East Asia. Top players have been interested in AlphaGo, describing its play as groundbreaking and opening up new ways of approaching the game. Likewise, AlphaGo's success has fuelled visions of AI that can not only perform pre-programmed tasks, but help people look at complex scientific, technical and medical mysteries in new ways. AlphaGo's "thinking" is powered by millions of connections similar to neurons in the brain. It is partly self-taught, having played millions of games against itself.
1. Why did AlphaGo play with Ke Jie?
A Because people wanted to know artificial intelligence clearly.
B Because the world number one Ke Jie of China wanted to win.
C Because AlphaGo became the last computer program to sell.
D Because a number of people wanted to watch the game closely.
2. What made people interested in the match?
A AlphaGo has the computer games.
B AlphaGo has a great number of moves.
C The game is difficult to play.
D The game is only played in China.
3. What can the future advanced general program do?
A It can remember the new knowledge.
B It can make use of the strategies.
C It can help us use energy effectively.
D It can set a lot of breakthroughs.
4. Why was AlphaGo so clever?
A Because it was made up of millions of connections.
B Because top players have been interested in AlphaGo.
C Because AlphaGo became most popular in East Asia.
D Because it played millions of games with other computers.
