Comment on AI used for skin cancer checks at London hospitalparent

Comments

Because this non-AI function 'correctly diagnoses 100% benign cases as benign':

    def is_benign(mole: Image) -> bool:
        return True
...but also misdiagnoses 100% malignant cases.

To contextualize, I think the tool in this article correctly diagnoses 97% benign cases as benign but misdiagnosis 22% of malignant cases.
