“We’re going to defeat childhood cancer once and for all.”

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday evening to "massively accelerate" pediatric cancer research and "harness the extraordinary potential of artificial intelligence to fight this terrible disease." Trump also announced that an additional $50 million would be going toward the childhood cancer data initiative.
Trump said the order directs "the federal government to fully utilize artificial intelligence to supercharge pediatric cancer research. It’s pretty amazing what’s happening. For years, we've been amassing data about childhood cancer, but until now, we've been unable to fully exploit this trove of information and apply it to practical medicine. Using cutting-edge AI, we will empower scientists and researchers to discover" new treatments and prevention strategies, Trump added.

You would just want the best."
