Computer scientists in Rolla are working with dermatologists on a project that uses artificial intelligence to help detect skin cancer.
The scientists at Missouri University of Science and Technology received a $440,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health for the project. The money will fund updates to an International Skin Imaging Collaboration’s database, an enormous image collection of benign and cancerous moles.
Computers comb through the database and use algorithms that simulate human learning to make deductions about whether a mole could be malignant.

I have been reading a lot about AI's over the last six months, even took a two month course on them. And one of the strange things that is happening, is that the AI's dedicated to a certain Field, like Medicine, or Chemistry...are now being beat out by AI's that were not trained in those fields. Remarkable Stuff, and they are already better than the most experienced Doctors at diagnosing certain conditions. Brave new world coming.

It is uncanny the way AI has progressed, The difference between the latest iteration and the one just four months ago isn't a thousand times better, it is literally millions of times better. Like going straight from the Wheel to a Formula I car!
