I can report that AI identification of skin cancer - at the visual and microscopic level - is statistically equivalent to identification by dermatologists and pathologists.

Yeah, when human dermatologists pre-select the images to present to the algorithm, omitting those tumor classes that it's "not trained for."

Not sure I understand your Comment.

Why would human dermos try to falsely improve the accuracy of diagnostic software that threatens human dermo employment?

That's like a professional poker player stacking the deck so he will LOSE money.

In any event, the number one malpractice lawsuit filed against dermos and pathologists is the massive OVER-DIAGNOSIS of skin cancer.
