Do We Really Need Smarter AI to Cure Cancer?

# Do We Really Need Smarter AI to Cure Cancer? Tech companies are spending huge amounts of money trying to build super-intelligent AI systems that could theoretically cure cancer, but a medical expert argues we're focusing on the wrong problem—today's AI tools are already helping fight cancer, while the real bottlenecks are practical issues like missing patient data and people who can't afford treatments. Rather than waiting for a smarter AI that may never come, we should be directing resources toward using the AI we already have and solving the non-technical barriers that actually prevent new cancer treatments from being developed and used.
