If you are looking for a great example of how artificial intelligence-based algorithms can assist (and not replace) medical professionals, look at the recent paper from the teams of Kristen Yeom and Andrew Ng. They concluded that radiologists could improve their diagnoses of brain aneurysms with the help of an artificial intelligence algorithm developed by medical experts and computer scientists. "Any artificially intelligent algorithm will have strengths and weaknesses that reflect its programming and training. In the case of HeadXNet, the researchers focused on its ability to identify the presence aneurysms rather than on detecting their absence. As a result, HeadXNet improved clinicians’ ability to see aneurysm but didn’t affect their ability to identify scans without them." It's there to make sure they make the best decisions but it doesn't do the job for them. #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #AI #artificialintelligence #chess #deeplearning #machinelearning …see more
