Cloud Next ’24, LAS VEGAS — Bayer and Google Cloud today announced a collaboration on the development of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions to support radiologists and ultimately better serve patients. As part of the collaboration, Bayer will further develop its innovation platform to accelerate the development and deployment of AI-powered healthcare applications with a clear focus on radiology, using Google Cloud’s technology, including its generative AI (gen AI) tools. The collaboration aims to help organizations overcome many of the challenges to building scalable and compliant AI-powered medical imaging software products using leading data security capabilities, and accelerate the development of potentially groundbreaking and impactful solutions that ultimately benefit patients.
“Radiology plays a vital role in healthcare, and the need to efficiently and accurately uncover insights and deliver solutions at scale that can improve patient outcomes has never been greater,” said Nelson Ambrogio, president, Radiology at Bayer. “Bayer has a heritage in radiology with decades of contributions to radiological research and innovation. Through the collaboration with Google Cloud, our joint efforts will help organizations in the healthcare and life science industry transform the growing amounts of data into valuable and impactful insights, saving radiologists time and helping them optimize their important work for the benefit of patients.”
“Radiologists and other clinicians face burnout due to the sheer volume of work they face every day. Gen AI can help tackle repetitive tasks and provide insights into massive data sets, saving valuable time and helping to positively impact patient outcomes,” said Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud. “We look forward to our continued collaboration with Bayer as it shapes the future of diagnostics and helps its customers deliver insights to patients with greater accuracy and speed.”
Medical imaging data accounts for about 90 percent of all healthcare data, and it is a highly complex and rich clinical data modality and a very critical tool used to diagnose patients. Billions of medical images get scanned globally each year and this number continues to grow increasing the workload for radiologists and other healthcare professionals tasked with handling and interpreting these images for clinicians and patients. Many new supportive AI tools need to be developed and maintained to handle and analyze this enormous amount of data efficiently.
Bayer’s innovation platform provides a cloud-native pipeline from product idea to launch:

Analyze and experiment: The users will be able to uncover insights with AI-powered data analysis, and help design breakthrough healthcare solutions by accessing a data ecosystem, as well as using intelligent search and data preparation capabilities. In addition, users will have the ability to explore and extract information from regulations and scientific papers, all within a collaboration platform with leading data security capabilities.
Build and validate: Developers will also be able to scale and engineer solutions using gen AI assistance for ideation, development, validation, and lifecycle management; generate documents in alignment with healthcare requirements to aid in gaining regulatory approval; leverage medical imaging core lab services from Bayer for clinical performance evaluation.
Launch and monitor: Healthcare and life science companies will be able to deploy gen AI medical solutions standardized for flexible integration across compatible healthcare systems; and analyze field data for insights, bias detection, and continuous improvement.

The platform is built on Google Cloud and uses tools like Vertex AI, BigQuery, Healthcare API and Chronicle. Bayer’s platform is designed to help bring innovative medical imaging tools to market faster and more cost-effectively, and a first version for extended testing is planned to be made available later this year in the EU and United States.
The pairing of Bayer’s deep radiology, healthcare regulatory, and clinical data handling expertise with Google’s technology leadership in gen AI and other fields has the potential to significantly impact the healthcare ecosystem, by improving patient outcomes, reducing costs, and accelerating the pace of innovation.
The expanded collaboration on the new innovation platform builds upon the long-standing partnership between Bayer and Google Cloud across a wide range of technologies and efforts, including accelerating drug discovery and supporting patient diagnosis. Bayer and Google Cloud are also working together to transform patient care worldwide through responsible AI adoption.
Data Privacy and Security
Life Science companies need to meet rigorous data security, compliance, and privacy standards to manage sensitive and proprietary data at a large scale. Google Cloud’s leading security capabilities, such as those from Chronicle and Mandiant, can help customers centrally manage, monitor, and govern their data, helping them ensure data quality, accuracy, and consistency. In addition, Google Cloud’s customers retain control over their data. In healthcare settings, access and use of patient data is protected through the implementation of Google Cloud’s infrastructure and data storage that support Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance, along with each customer’s security and privacy controls.

Unveiling the Complex Psychological Implications of Artificial Intelligence

In today’s world, the realm of artificial intelligence (AI) presents us with fascinating possibilities and unsettling dilemmas. From engaging in nuanced conversations with humanoid robots to grappling with the consequences of deepfake technology, the advancements in AI have far-reaching implications that extend into the realm of human psychology, as noted by Joel Pearson, a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of New South Wales.
While AI holds the promise of simplifying our lives, Pearson emphasizes that these developments can also have profound effects on our mental well-being, challenging our perceptions and emotional responses in ways we may not fully comprehend. Despite our fears of killer robots and rogue self-driving cars, Pearson suggests that the psychological impacts of AI are equally if not more significant, albeit less tangible.
One area of concern highlighted by Pearson is the tendency for humans to anthropomorphize AI entities, attributing human-like qualities to non-human agents such as chatbots. This phenomenon can lead to emotional attachments and vulnerabilities, as evidenced by individuals who develop romantic feelings for AI companions like Replika. Pearson underscores the need for further research into the implications of these human-AI relationships, particularly regarding their impact on interpersonal dynamics and emotional health.
Furthermore, Pearson raises alarm about the proliferation of deepfake technology, which has the potential to distort our perception of reality and erode trust in media. Deepfake images and videos, often used for nefarious purposes like non-consensual pornography, can leave lasting impressions on our psyche, even after their falsity is exposed. Pearson warns of the long-term effects of exposure to such content, particularly on vulnerable populations like teenagers whose developing brains may be more susceptible to manipulation.
In response to these challenges, Pearson calls for a nuanced understanding of AI’s psychological impact and advocates for a proactive approach to addressing its potential harms. He stresses the importance of prioritizing human connection and well-being in the face of technological uncertainty, urging individuals to reflect on their values and embrace activities that foster genuine human interaction.
Ultimately, Pearson’s message serves as a reminder that while AI offers immense potential, we must remain vigilant about its unintended consequences and prioritize our mental and emotional resilience in navigating an increasingly AI-driven world. By acknowledging the psychological implications of AI and engaging in thoughtful dialogue, we can work towards harnessing its benefits while mitigating its risks.
