Abstract

ABSTRACT A growing number of artificial intelligence (AI) systems for melanoma diagnosis now match dermatologist‐level performance. Early detection is a driving factor, yet it is rarely validated beyond aggregate diagnostic accuracy. More targeted studies are necessary so these claims become verifiable and the promise of early detection can actually be delivered to patient care.
