There is a new $1MM competition on Kaggle to use ML / AI to diagnose lung cancer from CT scans.

Not only it is the great breakthrough for Kaggle (it is the first competition with this huge prize fund), it is also a breakthrough for science, since top world researchers and enginners will compete to basically crowdsource and ease the lung cancer diagnostics.
