New Delhi . An extremely interesting and unique experiment is going on in America towards making Artificial Intelligence more capable and reliable than before. This time the focus of the researchers is not limited only to the human brain, but they have also made the extraordinary seeing ability of pigeons a part of the study. The objective of this research is to create such an advanced AI system that can recognize even those very small signals hidden in medical scans which sometimes escape the notice of even experienced doctors.

In the last few years, AI companies have been training their models with the help of humans, but now the research has reached a new level. Scientists are trying to understand how the human brain and the visual ability of birds understand complex medical images and how this process can be developed into AI.

This important research is being done by Dr. Gregory DiGirolamo and his team at the College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts, USA. Their aim is to understand how radiologists make decisions when viewing X-rays and CT scans. Researchers believe that sometimes the human brain senses some abnormality but that information does not reach the final decision. If AI understands this process, it can help doctors and give more accurate results.

During the research, scientists also analyzed the eye movements of radiologists. They found that when doctors look at lung lumps in a CT scan, their gaze stays on the same area for a longer time and the pupils of the eyes also dilate. In many cases, doctors later write the report as normal but the brain has sensed the abnormality at an early stage. This sign indicates that the human brain captures many such information at the subconscious level which are not included in the decision process later.

To understand this principle better, researchers gave special training to six pigeons. These birds were shown short videos of CT scans and were trained to identify whether a lump was present in the lungs or not. Scientists say that pigeons have very impressive visual recognition abilities and can even distinguish subtle differences. This same feature can help make future AI systems more sensitive and accurate.

Dr. DiGirolamo says that the purpose of this technology is not to replace doctors but to further strengthen their capabilities. In the future, AI tools may be developed that work in collaboration with radiologists and point out signs that are missed during routine examinations. This can make it easier to detect serious diseases like cancer in the early stages and treatment of patients can be started on time.

Researchers believe that this technology will not be limited to the medical field only. In future, it can also be used in detection of heart diseases, detection of genuine and fake works of art, screening system of security agencies and many other important areas. If this experiment is successful, then in the coming time AI can become not only faster but also more intelligent and sensitive than before.
