So how do we get the first sick volunteers for Dr. Neural Network?
- jerf 10y agoAI's been in medical diagnosis for a long time and many people have been treated by it already. There was a news article a month or two ago from IBM for using Watson to do it, and it struck me as obviously a PR piece because "an AI system diagnosed a patient" is breaking news somewhere circa 1980, not now. Its scientific content was zero.
