NEW YORK (360Dx) – The UK this month made a sizeable investment to foster the adoption of artificial intelligence in digital pathology and imaging, pledging £50 million ($64 million) to support five new centers across the country.
While the first task of the centers will be to digitize their workflows to improve efficiency, they also aim to eventually develop new AI-based analytical tools for diagnosing patients. The investment was made through Innovate UK, the country's innovation agency, and will support the centers for the next three years.
