Doctors and engineers from Massachusetts General Hospital and MIT are trying to revolutionize cancer detection through an artificial intelligence program called Sybil. Their study found that Sybil could accurately predict whether a person will develop lung cancer in the next year up to 94 percent of the time. NBC News’ Dr. John Torres reports.

Detection is Great$$$ for big pharma!
Oh my god bro do you want your lung cancer detected or not? Stick to your Facebook market supplements.
Hurry it up
Ai will at some point really change medicine, but one thing I don’t want to get lost is the translation, the science back from the Ai to doctors so that doctors can understand what and why the Ai is finding what it does. With how medicine is treated now days, I am very worried Ai will just be used for detection and not understanding. The patterns that Ai discovers don’t come out in a readable text form for doctors to learn from let alone an understanding of why. As Ai is used particularly in medicne we need to keep up and not take for granted, what is observed to translate it into better understandings and hopefully cures -cancer survior
I think understanding how these algorithms work will eventually be a required thing in medical schools in the future. Also thankfully there are tons of researchers who fully understand how these things work. A lot of times these scientists are the ones giving lectures at medical schools to begin with
@Biopharm Markets I was refering to the “blackbox” internal side of Ai in that machine learning will recognize a patern and gain an pediction of likelyhood based on that understanding. That understanding Ai has reached it by comparisons and looking at outcomes, Ai will not give you it’s understanding, but rather it will still need to be research to be understood. What currently an Ai is truely “learning” has to be broken out by computer sceintists based on data of it’s logic then again translated to a medical researcher. Currently we cannot easily see what an Ai sees or be told by the Ai what the findings could mean. If that makes sense? All made trickier by the notion that once an Ai is trained it will continue to refine and therefore change, so it will be an ongoing process.
@EthelbertCoyote Ahh I see what you mean now. Like they build a model that can learn then train them on huge sets of data but don’t actually know what the AI does to get from a picture of an apple to the part where it can identify and distinguish it from other things (for example). Something like that?
@Biopharm Markets yup the translation is also going to imperfect so while progress will speed up by orders or magnitude so will the potential for errors, like in the children’s game telephone. In all translations of Ai I worry about things like bias in and bias out as well, making the data a narative more than tested sigma science just because the data “was right the last 100 times”. I pray Ai never “learns” human hubris.
Gonna need it! Cancer coming in fast with new tech. Limit your “screen time”!! !!
Death is the gateway to eternal life
Flesh and blood can not enter. Amen!
And technology is also a gateway to eternal life.
I got a question, can “A I” find away to lower medical costs? Maybe, even eliminate all debts?
and then skynet hacks the computer systems = destroy humans LOL
PCP ANGEL DUST
Not really early detection, but something much better – prediction.
Omg..
This is ???able
