    without any increase in false positives

    Well, shit, I was expecting to find either the opposite, or that the article didn’t even specify. That’s definitely cool news, if legit.

    This is not uplifting. It’s interesting, sure, but not uplifting.

    “Hey, AI helped my doctor diagnose that I have cancer! 😊”

      It is uplifting though? The alternative is not ‘not having cancer’, it is ‘cancer is recognized in a later stage’. Having cancer be recognized earlier really boosts the possibility of survival, and any improvement in that regard is quite uplifting in my opinion.

      It’s uplifting because the better the tools for detecting breast cancer, the earlier it will be found, and the more likely that person survives. So I’d say it’s definitely uplifting.
