Story summary

Stanford University researchers developed an AI tool that could reduce wasted organ-procurement efforts by 60%.
The tool predicts whether a donor will die within the critical organ-viability window, outperforming top surgeons' judgments.
Trained on data from over 2,000 donors, the model maintains accuracy even with incomplete information.
The team plans to adapt the AI for heart and lung transplants, potentially optimizing organ use and reducing costs in healthcare.
