The company CureMetrix is using FDA approved artificial intelligence technology as a powerful tool to help medical staff in women's healthcare.

The company hopes its AI can improve disease detection and cancer survival rates.

"AI has been used on mammograms for quite some time," Kevin Harris told Scripps News. "We were the first company to receive FDA clearance on an AI-based tool in mammography."

He said, "If you think about it, a mammogram is a medical image — and in the United States there's 40 million mammograms a year — and so, AI can be used to read those mammograms and help assess what is seen in those mammograms to provide more information for radiologists."

means it probably isn't one of the hallucinating and illegally/unethically trained generative-AI tools now making a mess of our information ecosystem and harming those whose intellectual property was stolen.

AI used properly to sort through legally-obtained data can be very helpful.
