They may unnecessarily encourage older low-risk individuals to screen for cancer. Artificial intelligence (AI) can change this. Farrokh Alemi at George Mason University has edited a collection of five articles by colleagues and students on how data science can be used to predict risk of cancer and enable risk-based AI systems to recommend cancer screening. Their research shows that risk-based models have predict between 60–90% of based on the cancers:
