  • Chinese scientists and clinicians have developed a learning artificial intelligence (AI) system which can diagnose and identify cancerous prostate samples as accurately as any pathologist. Results showed an accurate diagnosis in 99.38% of cases, which the researchers claim is as accurate as a human pathologist. In the longer term it could lead to automated or partially-automated prostate cancer diagnosis.
