British Prime Minister Theresa May announced this week she will pledge millions of pounds to the fight against cancer through the development of artificial intelligence (AI), Forbes has reported.

Theresa May, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, has pledged millions toward government funding that will develop a "new weapon"—artificial intelligence (AI) able to improve cancer and chronic disease diagnosis.

Researchers utilized a machine learning algorithm to determine that a higher rate of change—rather than actual value of cancer antigen 125 (CA125)—is associated with abdominal recurrence of ovarian cancer. Findings may help identify patients most likely to benefit from imaging surveillance of the disease.

University College London Hospitals (UCLH) have partnered with the Alan Turing Institute to use machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to complete tasks currently handled by nurses and clinicians, according to The Guardian.

A new partnership between University College London Hospitals and the Alan Turing Institute aims to start using artificial intelligence (AI) to perform certain tasks typically carried out by doctors and nurses.

University College London Hospital (UCLH) and the Alan Turing Institute in London have entered a three-year partnership to allow artificial intelligence (AI) to perform a variety of clinical tasks otherwise done by nurses and physicians.

Radiologists, clinical oncologists and industry stakeholders gathered May 16 in London to discuss artificial intelligence (AI) in medical imaging and cancer treatment. The all-day event was organized by the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) with help from the Alan Turing Institute, Health Data Research UK and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.

In a recent paper from consulting firm Deloitte, experts argue that evolving digital technology—notably artificial intelligence (AI)—has the potential to create jobs in many areas of healthcare, including diagnostic radiology.
