Until now, though, the general view was that it was a supplemental tool for diagnosticians, not a replacement for them.

Researchers in the Department of Dermatology at Heidelberg University in Germany have concluded that AI can be more accurate at identifying certain cancers. The challenge they designed for their study involved skin biopsies and dermatologists.
