From the Article

>Scientists from the University of British Columbia and BC Cancer have developed a new AI that can accurately predict how long a cancer patient will live, just by reading a doctor’s notes.

>According to their findings, published this week in peer-reviewed journal JAMA Network Open, the AI model was able to forecast whether patients would survive another six months, 36 months or 60 months with more than 80 per cent accuracy.

>After following up on the patients at regular intervals after the initial test, the robot was correct in predicting when people had less than six months to live 86 per cent of the time, when patients would die within 36 months 84 per cent of the time, and when patients had less than 60 months to live 84 per cent of the time.
