Skin Cancer Detection
- Over five million people are treated for skin cancer every year in the UK.
- Early detection increases survival chances, typically through examination by a dermatologist.
AI Dermatologist
- In 2017, Stanford Medical School researchers developed an AI system to analyze freckles.
- This AI proved more accurate than dermatologists in determining if a freckle was cancerous.
AI Limitations
- AI systems require human programming, and how doctors diagnose illnesses remains unclear.
- This makes it challenging to create instructions for AI to replicate the diagnostic process.
