Wondering what AI could actually be useful for (other than creating funny images and spellchecking this blog post)?
In a large-scale study in Germany, researchers found that AI-assisted breast cancer screening yielded vastly better results than the non-AI control group:
[…] after taking into account factors such as age of the women and the radiologists involved, the researchers found this difference increased, with the rate 17.6% higher for the AI group at 6.70 per 1,000 women compared with 5.70 per 1,000 women for the standard group. In other words, one additional case of cancer was spotted per 1,000 women screened when AI was used.
