No such thing as “ independent ones.” There are huge sums of money involved in healthcare, and all parties will be jockeying for their share of the money.The concept that AI models are objective and non corrupt is a fantasy. As in most situations, diagnosis is 80+ % routine. There are some challenging presentations, but rare. Real life medicine is not an episode of “House.” Diagnostic challenges are mainly solved by adding tests and procedures,which will be little different in the age of AI. Diagnostic criteria for various diseases are well established. I have seen no information that use of AI enables diagnosis of novel conditions. Nor is there evidence that AI can develop more effective treatment pathways.
Yet. No evidence yet. Someone will innovate this space.
I fear the revolutionary impact of AI on humanity because I don’t yet conceive of how the majority will be put to purposeful work.
But I personally have needed a Dr. House my whole life. I can’t count how long I’ve wished I had a competent, private and independent AI to dump my thousands of pages of medical history into to figure out what’s wrong with me and how to fix it. I currently have a working theory (RCCX gene split), about 16 specialists across the hospital (down from 30) and am polypharmacy enough for 10 people. If AI can figure this out and remove me from the list of working disabled, I’d do it in a heartbeat.
The important part for me is GIGO. No current medical knowledge can be trusted.
As Robird pointed out, the problem is that "The concept that AI models are objective and non corrupt is a fantasy". It is impossible for AI to be objective because "Algorithms are simply opinions embedded in code." ~ Kathy O'Neil
Moreover, we don't understand how AI works, AI can't reason, hallucination and deception now appear to be inevitable, and it looks like there is no way now to prevent AI from going rogue:

In addition, IMHO, the "innovation" in AI is not promising at all, especially when

We understand and sympathize, Emily. Please don't give up!
100%, Robird ~ on all counts. 🎯
