Balancing Power With Caution: AI’s Impact On Breast Cancer
During my seven years as president and CEO of Susan G. Komen, I’ve witnessed the impact of innovation in our mission to end breast cancer for good. Over the past four decades, we’ve seen a 44% reduction in breast cancer mortality, thanks to early detection and better treatments. AI is now accelerating this progress with its capacity to analyze vast datasets, discover new patterns and enhance diagnostic accuracy.Take, for example, the groundbreaking work of Komen scholar Dr. Regina Barzilay. Using her own mammograms in her research at MIT, Dr. Barzilay demonstrated how AI could have detected her breast cancer much earlier, potentially improving her prognosis.
