University of Pennsylvania researchers develop artificial intelligence tool to help speed autism evaluations

University of Pennsylvania researchers developed CAMI, an artificial intelligence tool that uses video analysis of motor imitation to screen for autism in children. The system achieved an 80% to 85% accuracy rate by focusing specifically on a child's imitation behavior while ignoring environmental distractions. While not intended to replace physicians, this automated component aims to provide faster and more objective assessments as part of a broader diagnostic process.
