AI reshaping Valley health care, but biases occur

While artificial intelligence, or AI, technology is raising hopes that it can improve health care, research raises concern about AI’s abilities to provide accurate diagnoses of patients’ conditions and provide the best treatment options, says Bradley Greger, an associate professor in the School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering the School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering, part of the Fulton Schools. AI is helping medical professionals more speedily wade through the vast data that provides them a framework for making health care decisions, but the technology can sometimes also present the risk of inherent biases that could misguide treatment, Greger says. He and other experts stress that human insight is crucial in assessing what AI produces.
