Most AI tools in the EU are trained on non‑European data
Brussels wants to expand its European network of AI‑powered medical screening centres, seeking to overcome long‑standing challenges around data quality and detect cancer at very early stages.
The Commission has already built a network of 270 advanced screening centres spanning hospitals and care facilities across the bloc under the Apply AI Strategy presented last October.
In these centres, pre-symptomatic abnormalities can be detected through analysis of imaging data, including MRI, CT, X‑ray, PET and ultrasound. Therefore, early detection and diagnosis of cancer and cardiovascular diseases could prove to be decisive for patients’ lives.
Industry players are already moving in this direction.
