AI changes the value of work by making judgment, translation, and orchestration more important. These skills help people guide decisions and coordinate actions that AI cannot fully do.

The AI was more sensitive than radiologists but still had some false positives, so it’s not ready for general screening. Researchers plan further studies to see if this tool can help doctors find cancer earlier and improve patient outcomes.
