Objectives: This study evaluated the usefulness of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms as tools in improving the accuracy of histologic classification of breast tissue.

Methods: Overall, 100 microscopic photographs (test A) and 152 regions of interest in whole-slide images (test B) of breast tissue were classified into 4 classes: normal, benign, carcinoma in situ (CIS), and invasive carcinoma. The accuracy of 4 pathologists and 3 pathology residents were evaluated without and with the assistance of algorithms.
