Why, exactly?
Are there reliable data that show AI interpretation is conspicuously inferior to a radiologist, or even dangerously inferior?
I actually find it comforting that a computer can compare and contrast hundreds of images in less than a minute, and instantly isolate the one or two that need special attention.
The most distressing thing about government managed health care is that there are way, way, way too many human beings involved.
I will be happy to accept a machine diagnosis and prescription as long as I have access to a comprehensive medical website and can educate myself on the specific issue and solution.
If immediate treatment is necessary, I will throw the dice and let the humans handle it.
Due to the immature nature of AI, that’s why.
It is entirely plausible to me that in a certain period of time, AI may indeed be able to scan images and perform a valid interpretation.
Not at this time. AI is only as good as the people who design it, and we have neither the moral underpinnings that would enable me to entrust a machine diagnosis of image data, the mature technology to ensure it.
I feel much the same way about self-driving cars, by the way.
But all that said, it does NOT mean that we won’t eventually have AI fully interpreting images or AI driving our cars. I wouldn’t support it at this time.
