AI Tool Predicts Cancer Survival Better Than Oncologists |
The future of oncology might be written on your face—and AI just learned how to read it. FaceAge, a new AI tool, is reshaping cancer care by predicting patient survival more accurately than trained physicians. With an 81% accuracy rate, FaceAge outperforms doctors in forecasting cancer outcomes, offering oncologists a powerful assist in treatment decisions. The tool uses facial analysis to estimate a patient’s biological age—a hidden signal often linked to disease severity and survival potential. |
Unlike invasive tests or expensive scans, FaceAge requires only a photo to evaluate subtle aging markers like skin texture and pigmentation. These features are then translated into a biological age that often correlates with overall health status and cancer prognosis. Why it matters: FaceAge is proving that AI can decode survival risk in cancer patients faster, cheaper, and more accurately than traditional clinical judgment. It could help doctors make more informed decisions and give patients a critical edge in planning care. Great, now even AI knows we’re aging poorly. But if it helps save lives, we’ll take the hit. |

Twilio denies being exploited after a hacker claimed to have 89 million Steam user records, including SMS passcodes. Sample data shows real Steam-related texts, raising concerns of a possible supply chain breach. While Valve, its parent company, remains quiet on the issue, one investigator points the finger at Twilio, hinting at a backend breach or API abuse behind the leak. Nothing says “not our fault” like millions of leaked messages and total silence from Valve. |
