IT Officer Elevates Artificial Intelligence to Higher Level
MDI Technical Officer Programs Computer as "Virtual Van Gogh"

Jacksonville, FL- Experts at Medical Development International (MDI) have applied artificial intelligence to the world of fine art. Using highly sophisticated programming, Jason Green, MDI's Chief Technical Officer, has programmed his computer with the ability to produce original, three-dimensional paintings rivaling present-day masters.

"What was once considered science fiction is rapidly becoming science fact. We are accomplishing great things with technology today that our parents couldn't have imagined," said Green. "This advancement demonstrates how we are on the cusp of great change. Even with all the constant advances we underestimate how versatile and autonomous computers are and what we can do with technology."

Most computers store individual instructions as code with each instruction given a unique number; the simplest computers perform a handful of different instructions, while the more complex computers have several hundred to choose from.

Green took programming capability one-step further by producing thousands of images using a set color scheme and style from multiple images simultaneously created on multiple machines. The best of these images are then rendered at extremely high resolutions.

Green's "Virtual Van Gogh" takes High-Definition to an entirely different level. While the best High-Definition television (HDTV) currently available produces an image at 1980 x 1080 pixels, Green's program render's the painting's resolution to 7500 x 5000 taking more than 156 hours.

"MDI recognizes the great opportunities that exist as technology advances and fosters creativity so we can best provide innovative solutions to our customers," Green said.
v MDI is a leading business providing service innovations in health care and management technology to medical providers nationwide. Green and his IT colleagues at MDI have applied similar artificial intelligence programming throughout the company, empowering MDI's employees, customers and participating healthcare providers as never before.
