A major Swedish trial found that using AI in breast cancer screening reduced later cancer diagnoses by 12%.
The study followed 100,000 women and compared AI-supported mammography with standard double readings.
Researchers published the results in The Lancet.
AI helped prioritise high-risk scans and flagged suspicious findings for radiologists.
Early detection rose to 81% in the AI group, compared with 74% under standard screening.
The trial also recorded fewer aggressive cancer subtypes with AI support.
Scientists stressed AI should support, not replace, trained radiologists.
