It sounds to me like the European center for nuclear research is getting a tiny bit off topic.
- I’m confused, what’s the topic?
  
  Their purpose is studying nuclear physics, in particular subatomic particles.
  
  Building AI models to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease is, well, not that thing.
It's worth noting that no evidence is presented for the improvement of stroke treatment. They link to an interview where the dude doesn't mention strokes.

There's no evidence presented for "Predicting the evolution of tumors or Alzheimer's".

And while the test for breast cancer sounds promising, it's still in testing and it will (or should) always include human oversight. I think this application of data analysis sounds promising since it's somewhat easy for computers to detect anomalies in otherwise uniform data... But it's not "AI". There's no "artificial intelligence" involved here.

Overall... Typical BS article about "AI". The red flag is how they use "AI" in the title for something that's clearly not AI. The confirmation is when they start talking about strokes, tumors, alzheimers, etc... AI is a miracle drug!

  takes a bong hit
  
  It’s only artificial intelligence if it comes from the intelligence region of France. Otherwise it’s just sparkling decision trees.
