The general thread here is about AI helping with a more proactive approach to medicine. Screening for high risk populations certainly falls under that.

You certainly said that screening leads to over diagnosis.

I think for screening, the best results are probably the upcoming prospective study from Kheiron.

I suspect, btw, that the Google model in this paper https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1799-6

will show stronger performance. But Kheiron appears to be ahead as far as proving the value of the tool since they have actually validated prospectively.
