JAKARTA - Scientists are developing an AI tool called nuclei artificial intelligence (AINU) capable of distinguishing abnormal cells from normal cells, so they can detect cancer and various infectious diseases, researchers said in an article in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence.

"Our method can be used to identify cells infected with the virus in the blood or tissue at a very early stage after infection, with an important application for viral immunology and biology", reported by ANTARA from Sputnik OANA, Tuesday, August 28.

"Finally (and most importantly, in our opinion), the tool can identify cancer cells (and possibly metastasi cells) among malignant cells from human specimens," the article wrote.

It is said that the tool will accelerate diagnostics and therapies in regenerative, virological and biological treatment of cancer.

The research on the development of AI equipment was carried out by a team of scientists from Spain and China.

However, the researchers acknowledged that there were still limitations before the technology was ready to be tested or used in clinical settings, reports the news portal Infosalus.
