Google to build artificial intelligence microscope for cancer diagnosis

Google has entered into a contract with the Defense Innovation Unit of the US Department of Defense, under which

will improve cancer diagnosis. To do this, the company will create a microscope with artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR).

It is reported that about 5% of diagnoses are now madewrong. To solve this problem, Google plans to train AI to detect cancer cells in microscope photos. The company has already begun to develop a corresponding neural network.

Once the AI ​​is ready, Google will create its own microscope with augmented reality support. With its help, doctors will see information about which cells may be cancerous.

Google noted that speed and accuracyare critical in cancer treatment. The company hopes its technology will help save the lives of many Americans. It should be noted that the first batch of microscopes will be used only for research, and not for real mass diagnostics.
