Researchers at the University of Geneva have developed an AI algorithm that can analyse children's non-verbal communication in short videos and use this to predict whether they are autistic or not.Scientists can input a video to the algorithm, which then makes the child in the footage completely anonymous by animating all people on-screen into faceless digital 'skeletons'.
By assessing nothing but the movement of these 'skeletons', the AI is then able to accurately identify autism spectrum disorder.
In a study involving 68 neurotypical children and 68 autistic children, the AI correctly identified autism in 80 percent of cases.
