This is a great use of tech. With that said I find that the lines are blurred between "AI" and Machine Learning.

Real Question: Other than the specific tuning of the recognition model, how is this really different from something like Facebook automatically tagging images of you and your friends? Instead of saying "Here's a picture of Billy (maybe) " it's saying, "Here's a picture of some precancerous masses (maybe)".

That tech has been around for a while (at least 15 years). I remember Picasa doing something similar as a desktop program on Windows.

It's because AI is the new buzzword that has replaced "machine learning" and "large language models", it sounds a lot more sexy and futuristic.

Besides LLMs, large language models, we also have GANs, Generative Adversarial Networks.
