    this is bullshit.

    the study was performed by Navinci Diagnostics, which has a vested interest in the use of technological diagnostic tools like AI.

    the only way to truly identify cancer is through physical examination and tests. instead of wasting resources on AI we should improve early detection through improved efficiency of tests, allowing patients to regularly test more often and cheaper.

        it won’t because it’s an illusion of a test with unverifiable results.

        Imagine this, you want to know if you have cancer. you can get results from a biopsy, blood tests, and an MRI. all results are validated by specialist review. it will take 3 months to collect and validate the results. OR, you can run all your tests above and have results in 24 hours but they aren’t validated by a specialist.

        so the question is, why does it take 3 months and how can we make it shorter without decreasing quality, validity, or consistency?

        AI is not the answer.
