In what's expected to soon be commonplace, artificial intelligence is being harnessed to pick up signs of cancer more accurately than the trained human eye. This latest AI model has a near 100% success rate and serves as a clear sign of things to come.

Seems for the tests they mixed a number of known cancerous images, from biopsied tissue, and mixed a bunch of imaged tissues, known to be cancer free. They then randomized the images and processed them with this AI, and it was able to find cancerous vs non-cancerous tissue, at a rate significantly higher than doctors.

They are also seeing a lot of success in using similarly purposed AI for finding pathology presented in a wide variety of images, including MRI, CT, X-ray, etc.
