In August 2019 the UK government announced it would dedicate £250 million to funding AI in the National Health Service.⁹ Here are just a few examples of how AI is beginning to transform healthcare.

 A study published in The Lancet in 2019 found that AI is as good as human experts when it comes to diagnosing disease from medical images.10 Deep learning is showing enormous promise in diagnosing a range of diseases, including cancer and eye conditions.

 MIT researchers have developed an AI model that can predict the development of breast cancer up to five years in advance.11 Crucially, the system works as well for black and white patients, whereas similar projects in the past have often been based overwhelmingly on white patients.

 Infervision’s image recognition technology uses AI to look for signs of lung cancer in patient scans. The technology is already in use in healthcare settings across China.12
