Expo Dubai: AI and Big Data boost health says Israel

(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 2 - Artificial intelligence and Big Data will boost people's health, Israel's Expo Dubai 2020 commissioner Elazar Cohen said at the "Artificial Intelligence & Cybersecurity for human health" international event organized by Italy, Israel and the United Arab Emirates at the Italian pavilion at the world's fair.
    "Faced with the pandemic, I think the theme of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity in health is something really significant," said Cohen.
    "The world is changing very fast an we must be very flexible in order to adapt.
    "I think artificial intelligence and Big Data are already giving their contribution in health, in the pharmaceutical sector, in medical devices." Cohen recalled that he had been lucky enough to sign the first accord between Italy and Israel on research and development and technology, in 2000, along with then industry minister and future premier and Democratic Party leader Enrico Letta.
    "We must make every effort to create synergies between Italy, Israel and the UAE", said Cohen. (ANSA).
