The image sorting capabilities of Google Brain have been used to help detect certain medical conditions by seeking out patterns that human doctors may not notice to provide an earlier diagnosis.[1] During screening for breast cancer, this method was found to have one quarter the false positive rate of human pathologists, who require more time to look over each photo and cannot spend their entire focus on this one task.[2] Due to the neural network's very specific training for a single task, it cannot identify other afflictions present in a photo that a human could easily spot.[2]
