AI Decoded focusses on one of the most urgent, tangible uses of artificial intelligence - health care. We speak to Dr Regina Barzilay, an MIT professor who is building machine-learning AI models to predict disease. She herself was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014 and has used that experience and knowledge to target her research towards prevention - the AI model she and her team built, named MIRAI, is now able to detect a patient's risk of developing breast cancer within five years.
