>A new study from Stanford University could ruffle feathers in the medical community, as the researchers report that their newly developed machine learning algorithm can identify tissue slides exhibiting a specific type of cancer with far greater accuracy than human epidemiologists. It’s one of the first indications that computers aren’t just capable of addressing the “subjective” portions of medicine, but that they’re actually better suited to such problems than human doctors, in some cases.
until AI can be held liable for malpractice then AI will never in any capacity supersede a human physician.
democrat jew trial lawyers will never allow it sorry :*)
Henry Baker
Just sue the campany which produced the AI or equipment using it.
Gabriel Carter
AI can't malpractice and thats why they're gonna start replacing doctors ;) >democrat jew trial lawyers will never allow it sorry :*) You can always get AI as a second opinion, but sooner or later AI will show its superior powers and outpower puny lazy retarded doctors.
Ur time is running out medfags ;)
Oliver King
>until AI can be held liable for malpractice
Malpractice is deviation from treatment norms. AI can't deviate from treatment norms by definition, so there is no need to hold it liable for malpractice.
It's like holding your microwave-oven liable for food poisoning - not gonna happen.

>tfw I switched from Medicine to C.S. for this very reason dodged a bullet there lads
Adam Morales
doesnt work like that sorry (:
Jose Baker
So it can do shit lab techs did previously?
Call me when it can do a holistic examination and perform surgery.
Thomas Mitchell
How the fuck is looking for shit in a slide "subjective", you huge dingus.
Carson Morris
>doesnt work like that sorry (:
It works precisely like that.
Carson Turner
Medical professionals will disagree on whether the slide depicts cancer or not.

Michael Ortiz
>AI can't deviate from treatment norms by definition
by what definition? lmfao quit talking about something you know nothing about
Alexander Harris
That doesn't make it subjective, that means it is unclear.
There is still a true conclusion.
Benjamin Butler
Seriously? I was thinking of going the other way, switching from CS to med school.
Mason Adams
> How will Medfags ever recover?
Turn said a.i. into meme medical kiosks to filter the plebs from the non plebs. While said doctors can save face and keep their jobs by being the ones who get to "officially" diagnose you and sign off on paper work.
Liam Collins
Literally how it works
Jonathan Hernandez
It's only a matter of time before autodocs become a reality. one day we'll have machines in every house that can cure you of all diseases.
Julian Barnes
>epidemiologist Wat? Did he mean pathologists? This is pathology, not diagnostics
Jordan Johnson
Is this really surprising? There is a reason things like blood counts are done using machines: they are capable of counting much faster and much more accurately than a human. Going with the same thing here, they are better at searching through large numbers of cells and picking out the weird looking ones.
Caleb Hill
I knew masturbating all day long instead of being a doctor was the smart subject to major in. I'm debt-free and jobless while they'll be assfucked with debts and jobless.
Lincoln Rivera
>he switched majors from helping humanity and constantly being on the edge of innovation to tech support
Point at him and laugh
Kevin Sanchez
>doctors jobless meme >mfw no meme 300k+ After 3 years
Kayden Gutierrez
By then there will no point in leaving your virtual reality machine.
Of course. Medical result parsing is pretty much the perfect application for machine learning.
I'd much rather have an AI treat me in 5-10 years than a human.
Hudson Thomas

>implying ai observations aren't uncertain by nature dna tests are uncertain by nature every nmr/gc/ms/ir w/e the fuck is uncertain by nature pretty much everything in some way or another is uncertain whats your point? >implying there's no such thing as software bugs malpractice of the developing company >implying ai magically knows everything it knows what it knows
William Miller
Watching stembots argue about philosophy is hilarious. You guys are fucking clueless
Carter Nguyen
But he's right nigger. The "subjective" part in medecine is about dealing with the emotions of patients and deciding whether or not their degree of distress warrants heavy treatment.
Whether some tissue has cancer or not isn't subjective.
Here is the memorandum of understanding between deepmind and UK's NHS.
Jayden Bailey
This will never take off. A bunch of angry, rich men (AKA doctors) will never let their source of income run out, and if this becomes a threat, THEY WILL STOP THIS.
CS babies are delusional.
Isaiah Roberts
People are also not comfortable being treated or diagnosed by machines. We have nothing to worry about, medfags.
Liam Walker
Medfag here, you guys are completely misunderstanding what this means for medicine
AI will most certainly be used to supplement the work that doctors do, but it will never fully replace them, because the 99% of people in the world who aren't autists overwhelmingly prefer human interaction to speaking with a computer
But you guys may never understand that
Andrew Jackson
Automated "help" is replacement though.
If AI replaces what an eye doctor at the NHS spends 30% of their time doing. That is still replacement. While the total load of possible work is still enough to keep all eye doctors employed. That doesn't change that AI replaced doctor work.
Doctors are in a unique case of being in under-supply compared to demand pretty much all over the world so unemployment will not be a thing.
Supply vs Demand and employment doesn't change the fact it is AI replacing doctors.
