The path toward a cancer-free world is built on small steps and will be iterative. Just as how previous innovations has led researchers to develop present cutting-edge technologies, AI-assisted cancer cure may take a little more time to materialize. While AI is currently fulfilling breakthroughs in cancer diagnosis, its technology will have to undergo manifold iterations to solve an overabundance of smaller problems before undertaking the final challenge.
AI possesses the huge potential of helping scientists manage the puzzling difficulties of research and other data to accelerate the discovery of a cancer drug and render scientific findings into real benefits for patients. With the ability to search through billions of experimental results, AI can identify patterns and make functional predictions regarding diagnoses, end results, and responses to treatments.
