I recently read about a Copenhagen-based startup that has developed artificial intelligence (AI) that can listen in on emergency 911 calls and help dispatchers detect victims of cardiac arrest.

Note: Livetiles a tech company based in Rochester NY have put together a infographic listing the most interesting AI Blockchain projects in 2019. Including BurstIQ who are focused on the healthcare industry. BurstIQ provides end-to-end enablement of blockchain-based health applications and services through a global, person-centric data exchange that connects these solutions to each other and to the people they serve.
When you are in cardiac arrest, every lost minute decreases your chance of survival by 10%, so any chance of saving those critical minutes in response to a possible cardiac arrest victim is extremely important. The AI in this case analyzes words and non-verbal sounds that indicate someone is in cardiac arrest. It is able to do that after it has trained itself to spot warning signs by analyzing a massive collection of emergency call recordings over a period of time. In one study, it was found that this startup's AI was able to detect cardiac arrest with a 95% accuracy, compared to 73% for Copenhagen’s human dispatchers.
If AI can save lives like this – apparently 22% more accurately than humans can – can it save or improve project delivery? Probably. Is it cost effective or cost prohibitive? I'm not sure... likely cost prohibitive at the moment but I'm betting that will change in the not too distant future. How would you use it to improve project delivery in your organization? Well, this is where probably gets sort of out there and it's more like playing a project management “wishing” game than dwelling in the real world at the moment.
So, let's play. Let's look at five ways I've been considering - assuming project and PMO budget isn't necessarily an issue...
