In a clinical study with over 2,000 chest X-rays, radiologists demonstrated superior performance to AI in identifying lung diseases. While AI exhibited moderate to high sensitivity, it generated more false positives than radiologists, particularly in cases with multiple findings. The study’s conclusion emphasized that AI should not autonomously diagnose lung diseases but rather function as an assisting tool to support radiologists in chest X-ray interpretation.

AI and birders are joining forces to push bird conservation to the next level.
New research from Cornell University is using big data and artificial intelligence (AI) to model hidden patterns in nature, not just for one bird species, but for entire ecological communities across continents. And the models follow each species’ full annual life cycle, from breeding to fall migration to non-breeding grounds, and back north again during […]
