Key points

  • Cancer is a highly individualized disease; a universal cure is unlikely. Existing AI is already improving drug discovery, clinical trials, and early detection.
  • Overemphasis on AGI/ASI may divert resources from crucial data collection and healthcare infrastructure.
  • A three-part roadmap: scale current AI in oncology, invest in biological research, and address institutional barriers.
