A Swedish trial found artificial intelligence reduced later breast cancer diagnoses by 12% and improved early detection.
Researchers studied 100,000 women in national screening programmes between 2021 and 2022.
Women receiving AI-supported mammography showed higher early cancer detection rates.
The AI system flagged high-risk scans and helped radiologists prioritise suspicious cases.
The study appeared in The Lancet.
Lead author Dr Kristina Lång from Lund University said AI could ease radiologist workloads.
Experts stressed AI should support, not replace, human clinicians.
