Advocating for a comparative approach to AI research
Comparative Oncology
Comparative oncology is a field of study that compares the biology and treatment of naturally occurring cancer in different species. This includes studying the similarities and differences in cancer biology between humans and animals, as well as evaluating the effectiveness of cancer treatments in both humans and animals. The goal of comparative oncology is to gain a better understanding of cancer biology and to develop more effective treatments for cancer in both humans and animals. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the genetic and environmental factors that causes cancer and its progression.
Comparative AI
Comparative AI works on a similar paradigm; the utilization of naturally occuring cancers in animal species as a platform for computational discovery. Given the similarities between human and animal cancers we are at a pivotal moment in history where computational platforms can be translated between species to inform each other, improve algorithmic performance, and enhance care
