I watch a video on the benefits of AI in protein folding, and it’s frankly amazing what’s been achieved in that space.
With my wife having breast cancer two years ago, and my mother diagnosed in January of this year, I agree. This is what AI should be used for!
This is what we have been using machine learning for, for a long time. It works perfectly well.
Issue with modern AI systems is that we dont know what or why they consider the thing they do, with established machine learning we set the parameters.
There was this case if AI being used in diagosing TB in a study. (I think it was TB). And it found more cases in poorer neighbourhoods and areas. And it did diagnose correctly most of the time. Why? Well… turns out that the system associated older xray machines with positive results, because the dataset used to train it had positive results from older machines. So in the end it didn’t correctly diagnose TB, it diagnosed poverty… which we already know to have association.
I’ve seen plenty of examples of AI studying breasts
I work as a paramedic and the use of AI looks promising at least in that field too. I participated in a conference on research being done in my province and about 8/10 of the researches being presented was about AI lol
To be fair it didn’t detect shit before it developed. They took imaging and trained it to detect spots that they knew later developed into cancer.
This didn’t help anyone and they aren’t out there feeding your images into the AI.
Now, can we figure out how to do the imaging without flattening breasts into pancakes?
AI has so much potential in the medical field, It’s just detecting spots from photos now and it’ll continue to improve, evolve and upgrade into a tool that’ll eventually detect cancer right away
Nice rack.
What?! AI taking the job of titty watcher? Not on my watch!
any product should be properly labeled to inform the user of what they are getting. we still haven’t achieved that with most of the food we consume.
serious question, which assumes this is a truthful, serious post: how does AI detect breast cancer five years before its development? My mother had cancer, died six years ago, and the best of what we had at the time couldn’t dectect something five years before development. I get that AI could guess based on the input of family cancer history (as could most doctors), but in my mother’s case there was no family history of cancer. She was the rarity.
Is this an image from the boobasquishious machine?
Agreed. AI has potential as a tool, not as a replacement for real people.
I agree we don’t want to see ai being used to repost the same stuff over and over again on reddits for years
What a dumb post, as if it’s AI is some specific thing that scientists pull from one task to another and not separate computer programs that were trained for their specific tasks. AI detecting cancer was was a benefit of AI research I wrote in my paper on the use of AI like a decade ago
So AI will find it… but will also probably deny the patient care due to it not being medically necessary.
Awesome, so 5 years sooner an insurance can deny our claims for breast cancer, saving margin.
There is difference in the size of the breast. Vains shape, placement, size are different also.
There is a lot of white dots. Yes – as a doctor you could ask for sample (biopsy) for some tissue tests but it is invasive and micro scars tissues could be also cancer point firestarter. Also radiation from x-ray could be (small % but still) firestarter for that cancer. Same with micro-plastic, pesticides and – well – pollution.
Also. During 5 years you could like develop cancer of any type anywhere and die. Ai will not protect you from that.
And Ai will not cover your medical bills.
I am not saying it’s a marketing only, but…
