Aengus Tran traded medical practice to build AI software that delivers quick and accurate diagnoses of X-rays and scans. Now, the 32-year-old CEO of Sydney-based Harrison.ai and a 30 Under 30 Asia alum is targeting America’s overstretched healthcare system. While studying medicine in Sydney in 2015 with a view to specializing in cardiology, Aengus Tran did a two-month clinical placement in his native Vietnam that upended his plan. At the Tam Duc Cardiology Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, the doctor-to-be witnessed first-hand how the short-staffed hospital struggled to provide timely diagnoses to its patients. For Tran, it was a moment of clarity that medicine “needs a system-wide change, one based on technology that can read scans and make diagnoses instantly…and is run so effectively and efficiently that it is available to everyone,” he says. With a mission to drive that change, he c
Last month at Beijing’s half marathon, a robot named Lightning beat the human world record by nearly seven minutes. It’s the latest in a string of AI-powered milestones that have got people wondering whether robots are about to enter our everyday lives, just as chatbots have.

To find out how robots are already entering the workforce, and what needs to happen to get them cleaning our homes and weeding our gardens, Ian Sample hears from the Guardian’s senior China correspondent, Amy Hawkins, and from Nathan Lepora, professor of robotics and AI at Bristol University, who researches how robots can achieve human-like dexterity

Last week I went to a gig by myself for the first time. I sat myself down in my single seat, possibly the youngest person in the room and one of thousands excited to see Split Enz. I loved it – I felt joy and heartache as the lyrics spoke of human experiences, really lived. I happily realised that I did not have to wonder whether Split Enz had used AI in their work (as I so often do nowadays) as these bangers were created long before it was even dreamed of.
As a visual artist and writer myself, when I see AI generated images, music or words presented as “art”, I see red. It’s boring, it’s theft, it’s soulless, sterile and it’s killing the planet through energy and water-guzzling datacentres. Someone suggested AI “visual art” should be called “Computer Rendered Artificial Pictures” (CRAP).
