A Boveri perspective on cancer biomarker testing using artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence (AI) can predict genomic alterations from histology, yet its adoption is slowed by a lack of trust. We argue that deliberate morphology (i.e., a cognitive understanding of histological features supported by standardized annotations) creates a bidirectional feedback loop between clinical practice and model outputs.We translate these observations into an actionable hypothesis for clinical and computational teams: that by enhancing explainability, deliberate morphology could facilitate the responsible deployment of AI biomarkers in oncology.
