Myopic macular degeneration, which causes vision loss and sometimes blindness, is on the rise. Among those leading research to seek solutions is a team in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of the Fulton Schools. Yalin Wang, a professor of computer science and engineering in the school, and his fellow researchers are looking at recent technological innovations to help find remedies. Their research is focusing on the use of artificial intelligence, or AI. As AI-powered technology advances and becomes more available, Wang sees it enabling more progress. Ross Maciejewski, the school’s director, says Wang’s work is an important example of new work using AI to address medical challenges.
