@ri_science: Totally not winging it: these birds were trained to diagnose cancer with 99% accuracy. 🐦 In this popular Ri talk, @fryrsquared told us about a study that definitely ruffled some feathers.

"a pigeon could do your job" would be devastating to say to a pathologist

The real takeaway is we need to give doctors little treats when they get a diagnosis correct

so...what you're saying is that I don't need to worry about AI coming for my job, I need to worry about pigeons??

“Fully-fledged” was delightful foreshadowing

Imagine you go to the doctor's office for an exam and it's just a bird sitting in a cardboard box

Apparently AI means avian intelligence.

Imagine the technician is like “I can’t give you results, it has to be read by the pathologist” and then it goes to a pigeon

I feel like that one pigeon could have been left out of this conversation. I'm sure he had other talents. 😂

This is brilliant. We should be really careful using words like “think” when we mean “association.” It confuses the millions of people who already don’t understand evolution or animal cognition.

Don’t give these health insurance companies any ideas!!! Sorry, your policy only covers diagnosis by pigeon

Pigeons' pattern recognition is so good they can be taught to recognise written words. I heard of someone with dyslexia and allergies who took their pet pigeon to the supermarket to read ingredients labels and alert the hooman when there was an allergen

Dogs alert of medical problems like diabetes & epilepsy but in some cases random strangers have been alerted to cancers. It's only human arrogance that think humans can do things
