I don't think speaking to Radiologists as "advisors" to an AI system is going to be productive in the grand scheme of things. Yes, radiologists (and all doctors for that matter) will give their thoughts on making their job incrementally easier. But that doesn't necessarily equate to better healthcare.
Is that going to move the needle on better healthcare for patients? Will it allow our hospital systems to bring in more throughput of patients at higher quality of care and lower costs?
Thats not what doctors (and hospitals) want. They won't be an ally in "AI for healthcare" unless it means their paychecks/revenues are protected. The author is being misguided by seemingly smart people who have skin in the game and a lot to lose.
Personally, I only favor AI solutions that will drive down the cost of all healthcare, raise the quality of service, and overall expand high-quality healthcare to underserved populations. Anything less than that is only serving the needs of the industry and not patients.
