I get the skepticism, truly--I actually wrote a couple articles about ethics and machine learning, and I completely agree there have definitely been cranks or bad actors using this kind of technology in both this space and many others. But if you were going to apply data science/machine learning to healthcare (personally, I dislike the term "AI"), I think that this project would be very close to both how and where you would want it. Peer-reviewed research with independent confirmation, in an narrow, image-based diagnosis, overseen by medical professionals throughout the process (not directly making recommendations to patients), by one of the world's leading medical research institutions. This isn't a catch-all, and it's certainly possible that cynicism could be warranted down the line. But for me, personally, I think that cautious optimism for this specific situation overrides the cynicism.
