An Otago professor has it interpreting ECG results. But AI experts are not convinced. David Farrier goes in search of Zach. You mean that some of this AI stuff is a scam? I can't believe that.

This was a fun read. We have a QA tester here, Zach, and I intend on asking him what he does in his spare time. I have noticed quite a few medical books lying around lately.
