  • This makes sense. However doctors aren’t perfect either and one thing properly trained AI should excel at is helping doctors make rare diagnoses or determine additional testing for some diagnoses. I don’t think it’s quite there yet but probably close to being a tool a well trained doc could use as an adjunct to traditional inquiry. Certainly not something end users should be fiddling with with any sort of trust though. Much of doctor decision making happens based on experience - experience biases towards common diagnoses which usually works out because well, statistics, but it does lead to misdiagnosis of rare disorders. An Ai should be more objective about these.
