The Cancer AI Alliance has unveiled a new AI platform designed to accelerate cancer research breakthroughs while protecting patient privacy.
Led by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, the alliance developed a system that enables AI models to be trained locally on sensitive medical data without sharing the underlying patient information, sharing only summaries of the learnings between institutions.
“Literally, 10 minutes back, we were able to get to a result that nobody has seen ever before because nobody has been able to run that analysis across four cancer centers’ data,” said Ai2 research scientist Bodhisattwa Prasad Majumder.
The platform enhances Seattle’s position as a leader in AI-powered oncology research, uniting major institutions around a secure and collaborative approach to cancer research.
