As someone in the field, what do you think about the idea of a fully automated "doctor"?
Are we close to it being technically feasible , leaving aside regulation and interpersonal qualities doctors bring to the table ?
- pinewurst 8y agoDepends on the definition of "doctor". The likes of INTERNIST, CADUCEUS, and MYCIN have been around and provably accurate starting in the late 70s through the mid-80s. MYCIN even arguably sparked the 1st AI boom. But there were ethical issues with computer-aided diagnosis that I'm not sure have been solved/overcome. Perhaps the current startup generation can get past them with Zuckerberg, Kalanick and Holmes as role models. :)
