The Center for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR), established by CAS in Hong Kong in 2019, on Friday launched its new AI model Cares Copilot 2.0, designed to help surgeons with tasks such as surgical planning, generating diagnostic reports and retrieving similar data. files.
In August 2023, CAIR signed a memorandum of cooperation with Huawei, saying at the time that the two parties would work together to implement the use of AI in surgery.
“At that time, we thought that in the near future, due to geopolitical reasons, the United States would definitely prevent us from using high-end chips,” Liu said. “As a research institution, we had to have alternative plans.”
Since then, the capabilities of Huawei’s AI chips have rapidly advanced, according to Liu.
“His progress is obviously rapid,” Liu said. “With the same amount of data, it initially took us one or two months to complete the entire training. Towards the end, the training was completed in just a week.
