On May 20, Google announced their progress in training artificial intelligence to detect lung cancer; since the project began in 2017, researchers have developed their AI to both generate lung cancer malignancy predictions as well as identify lung nodules as or more accurately and consistently than US board-certified radiologists. 

Resulting in more deaths than breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers combined, lung cancer has become the deadliest cancer across the world according to the World Health Organisation. This disease has one of the worst survival rates due to difficulties in detecting malignant tissue until it's evolved into late stage cancer.
