    A similar phenomenon I think: Some time ago there was a report that AI was able to detect lung cancer from x-rays earlier and more reliably than a human radiologist could. The strange thing was that the AI relied on patterns in the imagery that did not correspond to anything in the corpus of training that doctors receive.

    While the headline seems a bit extreme, I thought this was very interesting.
