How AI Detects Early Breast Cancer, Saving Lives!

How can AI help predict breast cancer? Regina Barzilay, the AI Faculty Lead at MIT’s Jameel Clinic, describes how Ai can look at subtle pixel changes that correspond to changes in tissue in order to detect the early stages of the disease. This is essential work because one in eight women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime, and the disease has an almost 90% rate of successful treatment when detected in its early stages!
