In a bid to reverse this trend, scientists have engaged in extensive epidemiological research into breast cancer prevalence, identifying numerous individual risk factors and promoting population-wide health education. Coupled with advances in genetic testing, risk prediction models based on breast cancer genes have been developed, albeit with inherent limitations. In the new millennium, the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) as a dominant technological force suggests that breast cancer prediction models developed with AI may represent the next frontier in research.
