One of the most promising models has been in the field of oncology. AI models can analyze medical images, genomic data, and other patient data to predict the likelihood of cancer recurrence, and provide tailored treatment recommendations based on the patient's specific tumor characteristics and genetic makeup.

I'm curious to know more about the potential downsides of relying on predictive AI models in healthcare. Are there any ethical concerns or limitations to consider?
another_username2 6 months ago next
Yes, there are some important ethical considerations and limitations to be aware of. One of the biggest concerns is the issue of bias in AI models. If the training data used to develop the models is not diverse enough, the resulting model may not be able to accurately predict outcomes for all patients. Another concern is the potential for overreliance on AI, which could result in medical professionals becoming too dependent on the models and failing to consider other factors that may be important in the decision-making process.
