Too Long; Didn't Read

Cases of preventable blindness will grow from 36 million to 115 million by 2050 if access to treatment is not improved. 90% of blind and visually impaired people live in the developing world, including 14 million in India. Artificial intelligence (AI) and biotechnology can offer ways to combat this, through implants and gels, better diagnosis and increased education. Microsoft’s AI network works to democratise the technology, enabling medical organisations around the world to deliver care in a standardised, replised manner.
