Ghassemi and her collaborator, Boston University’s Elaine Okanyene Nsoesie, wrote a warning note on the future of AI in medicine in a piece published on Jan. 14 in the journal Patterns. According to Ghassemi, if utilized properly, technology may enhance healthcare performance and perhaps eliminate disparities, but if we aren’t vigilant, it might really impair treatment. Given that the AI systems in issue train themselves by processing and analyzing massive amounts of data, it all boils down to data. The goal of the research is not to prevent engineers from applying their machine learning knowledge in the medical field.
