This AI model is trained to predict cancer survival from a single photo

Researchers are figuring out how to use artificial intelligence to determine a person's cancer survival outcomes from a single facial image.

"To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration that an AI model can directly predict cancer survival from a simple photograph."

FaceSurvival predicted cancer survival based on facial features, such as creases running from the nose to the mouth and around the eyes.

But precisely how AI determines biological age and cancer outcomes from facial images is not fully understood.

Due to historical disparities in access to quality health care among different racial groups, health outcomes vary.
