There are several drugs now in phase 2 and phase 3 trials that may be able to put the kibosh on pancreatic cancer. Advances in this field are now very rapid.

I can understand why medical costs exceed inflation as the product with expensive R&D gets better over time.
Now contrast that with education costs which grow more than inflation as the product stagnates or worsens...
Think about that.

If you watched Saturday morning’s “The Jetsons” and “Flintstones”, you’d have known. LOL.

I lost my Grandpa. He was only with us a couple of months after his diagnosis, and his last days were very painful. He was 77.

Easy to come up with a test that detects rare, scary things early. Do nothing, but report every 'result' as positive for them! Gives 100% sensitivity. And specificity no higher than the real incidence of that condition.
Specificity of this AI meta-analysis isn't discussed in the article. The real cost of the test isn't what you're charged for it, but rather that, plus all the money spent chasing its false positives, plus the cost of all the complications from the extra testing. Money which might have been spent on other things, including other medical tests or procedures with better established cost/benefit ratios.

AI doing things that no human being can do.
But, who programmed that AI system to do what it did?
Must not have been a human. Humans cannot program AI that is so advanced. Must be a much higher intelligence that can’t even be imagined by humans.
AI is out of this world!

I completely agree.
This term is used for everything, any more.

Pancreatic cancer is the beast due to lack of detection. It’s too late for our family, but hoping for breakthrough and relief for others.

AI is showing incredible potential in the area of medical diagnosis.

That's the way human language works.
Word usage isn't cast in stone. It changes and adapts.
The term "AI" is used differently than it once was. Get over it.
