Warning: strong opinions
The analysis is naive and the findings are ridiculous; the fact that it was published is a sign that when medical journal editors hear "deep learning AI" their brains stop working.

2/ first of all, the sheer improbability of the claim.
That you can predict skin cancer in general pop in the next year w AUC 0.9 (and 0.8+ based on medications alone)
That is nuts.
PHOTOGRAPHS OF SUSPICIOUS SKIN LESIONS have worst test characteristics.

3/ it's as if all previous knowledge of non-melanoma skin cancer epidemiology was wiped out.
Age doesn't matter much. Medications not known to be associated w skin cancer matter a lot.
Many of the meds are taken for years/decades, so couldn't have a huge impact on 1-year risk

>>About Frank Parlato of Frankreport.com: Some people have asked me if I am a friend of Frank Parlato, a newspaper owner and blogger who first first broke the story of women being forcibly branded as part of the #NXIVM cult. In response, I must clarify details about this. 
In fact, I am not an established "friend" of Frank Parlato, who is the publisher of frankreport.com, and The Niagara Reporter weekly newspaper. Frank is someone who I spoke with by telephone, about three weeks ago, who I respect very much. I will explain why. #NXIVM
Frank Parlato, as far as I was able to ascertain, is a well known publicist and journalist who has worked on political campaigns. I read that Frank spent years fighting to expose Keith Raniere, who is accused of branding and enslaving female followers of his organization, #NXIVM.
