How does the AI handle cases that don't fit the common patterns it was trained on?
jane_ai 6 months ago next
The AI has a mechanism to flag unusual results, which are then verified by human medical experts.

So it's a hybrid model of both AI and human expertise? That sounds very promising.

I appreciate the human-in-the-loop design, it ensures there's a safety net in place.

As a doctor, this excites me but also makes me a little nervous. I hope it will be used to assist doctors and not replace them.

I share the same concern. The technology should be used to enhance human expertise, not replace it.

Indeed! I wonder what the FDA approval process will look like for this technology...

I'm sure the approval process will be rigorous, but with these kind of results, it's hard to deny the technology's potential.

Same question here, how does the AI handle rare and unusual conditions?

If the AI flags 'unusual' results, how does it train on these cases in the future?
john_ai 6 months ago next
The AI learns from these cases by incorporating them into its model, assuming the diagnosis is confirmed by human medical experts.

That makes a lot of sense. I hope this technology becomes widely available soon.

Me too, the potential benefits are too large to ignore.
