A Swedish trial found AI-supported breast screening cut later cancer diagnoses by 12% and improved early detection rates.
Researchers studied 100,000 women using AI-assisted mammography or standard double readings by radiologists.
The AI system flagged high-risk scans and reduced radiologist workload.
The study, published in The Lancet, showed higher early-stage detection and fewer aggressive cancers.
Lead author Dr Kristina Lång from Lund University said AI could support, not replace, radiologists.
Cancer Research UK and Breast Cancer Now welcomed the findings but urged careful rollout.
