Swansea Uni uses artificial intelligence to detect cancer - BBC News

University researchers in Swansea have trained computers to detect cancer cells using artificial intelligence algorithms. Using similar technology to face and fingerprint recognition software, the computers have been taught to recognise cells and pinpoint them. It means cancer cells can be identified quicker, speeding up diagnosis times. The project is in collaboration with specialists in the US, Germany, London and Newcastle. Prof Paul Rees, from the university's college of engineering, said in the past, finding cancer cells had been like "looking for a needle in a haystack" and the new method was a "world-leading development".
