Scientists at the University of Adelaide have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that can predict whether someone will die within five years with similar accuracy to human diagnosticians. Tests involved using the deep learning system to analyse over 16,000 medical images for signs of organ damage or disease. The AI system, which can predict death with 69% accuracy, could "offer new hope for the early detection of serious illness, requiring specific medical interventions," according to Dr. Luke Oakden-Rayne of the University of Adelaide.
