Looks like your doctor likes his AI not only in his LinkedIn feed but also in all sorts of medical devices and platforms. According to the FDA, more than 1,000 medical AI products have been cleared for use – with interesting (and potentially troubling) consequences.
"Unlike most other FDA-regulated products, AI tools continue to evolve after approval as they are updated or retrained on new data.”
It gets worse:
"...medical algorithms often perform poorly when applied to populations that differ from the ones they were trained on.”
and:
"...many hospitals are buying AI tools 'off the shelf' and using them without local validation. That is a recipe for disaster.”
Brave new world. Maybe ask your doc next time if his diagnosis was aided by AI…
