A new AI is detecting depression using Instagram
A new AI programme has been developed to attempt to accurately detect signs of depression using Instagram photos. The study, carried out by researchers from Harvard University and the University of Vermont, used machine learning tools to identify markers of depression. It was found that the programme was 70 per cent accurate in detecting signs of depression, which was better than previous studies looking at the success rate of GPs diagnosing patients – normally around 42 per cent accurate.
