A major Swedish study found that using AI in breast cancer screening reduced later cancer diagnoses by 12%.
Researchers analysed 100,000 women in Sweden who underwent routine mammography.
Participants received either AI-supported screening or standard double readings by radiologists.
The AI system flagged high-risk scans and streamlined low-risk cases.
Results, published in The Lancet, showed higher early detection with AI support.
Early-stage cancers accounted for 81% of cases in the AI group, compared with 74% without AI.
Aggressive cancer subtypes were also 27% lower in the AI group.
Scientists say AI could ease radiologist workloads but must not replace human experts.
