Google develops AI that can effectively detect lung cancer

Tech giants Google have successfully developed artificial intelligence which can effectively detect lung cancer, Ubergizmo reports.

In recent times, AI has proven to be an invaluable tool in helping doctors detect certain health problems and Google seems to think so, as Danial Tse, a researcher at Google, developed an algorithm that actually managed to beat out several trained radiologists during its testing when it came to detecting lung cancer in patients.

Based on that, it will be able to tell doctors if a patient might be at risk. However, detection is just one part, as there will need to be other tests done to confirm it, plus a treatment plan will also vary from patient to patient, meaning that the role of doctors shouldn’t be discounted just yet.
