The problem is with the money and power. Doctors will never let go their income for a data scientist.
This type of invention will never start in the US, it will start in a communist country where leaders can move mountains or in Africa where there is a big lack of Doctors.
- visarga 5y agoI don't buy this, doctors are not one united body. Doctors with an AI tool will be more efficient than doctors without it. If the tool has a measurable positive impact on patients (outside of cost reduction) then it will become necessary to have the AI in order to get the patients.
- ska 5y agoUS based companies have been shipping AI/ML tools for nearly 30 years at this point, which undermines your argument. The biggest problems are data access (big) and data quality/labelling quality (bigger). Medical conservatism is a real issue, but nowhere near as big as those. There isn't a big cabal trying to keep AI out, it just hasn't worked very well so far. FDA is reasonably responsive (for an agency like that) these days, and has been doing planning for more of this sort of tech: https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/software-medical-device-samd/artificial-intelligence-and-machine-learning-software-medical-device https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/software-medical-device-...
