Designing machines for looking at images and finding specific items
like unexpected growths is quite simple. That's not AI. Simple 3 layer
neural networks can learn to do that already. When machines do things
they are not supposed to do that may be by using a form of AI. When my
washing machine starts making meals for me that could be described as
AI!
