“Amateur” programmer fought cancer with 50 Nvidia Geforce 1080Ti
As an AI&#x2F;ML researcher who publishes in this area regularly, I will be using this as a case study for AI ethics classes. That this is allowed to go on is shocking.<p>&gt; In 2018, a programmer named “coolwulf” started a thread about a website he had made. Users just need to upload their X-ray images, then they can let AI to carry out their own fast diagnosis of breast cancer disease.<p>Literally the worst fears that we have as a community is that people will recklessly apply ML to things like cancer screening on open websites and cause countless deaths, bankruptcies, needless procedures, etc.  How many people went to this website, uploaded images, were told were ok and didn&#x27;t follow up? How many were told they have cancer and insisted on procedures they didn&#x27;t need?<p>The website is totally unaccountable. Totally unregulated. Totally without any of the most basic ethical standards in medicine. Without even the most basic human rights for patients. This is frankly disgusting.<p>In the US this would have been shut down by the FDA immediately.<p>We should not be celebrating this unethical &quot;science&quot; that doesn&#x27;t meet even the most basic of scientific standards or ethical standards.<p>I can&#x27;t believe this is getting upvoted here.
