Artificial Intelligence System Matches Dermatologists at Skin Cancer Diagnosis

#artificialintelligence

As many jobs are disappearing to automation, the latest profession to also start seeing the future may be dermatology. Stanford University researchers have developed a deep convolutional neural network, an artificial intelligence technique for building a knowledge set, to learn how to spot suspect cancer lesions. Today this process is manual and prone to errors of subjectivity. Dermatologists simply look through a dermatoscope and judge based on their education and experience. The Stanford system was given 130,000 images of skin lesions simply labeled with previously established diagnoses that included more than 2,000 diseases.
