[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t have a link but a couple months ago they had an interview on NPR (A1 maybe?) on this issue. The result was that AI was better for routine issues but that human physicians were much better on detecting cases that fell outside the routine.[/quote]

This is ALREADY one of my biggest frustrations with human physicians - they are trained to think "when you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras," and will make patients suffer catastrophic issues to prove it's not horses. So anything that reinforces that bias further could be dangerous.

I wonder if AI would have the same bias against a zebra diagnosis.

DP but yes they do. 
They suffer from confirmation bias as well. They are still programmed by humans, and most all humans are flawed and egotistical. 
I have noticed that certain questioning techniques tend to get them to become more questioning of the information they express and questioning their "sources", but even then they are programmed to be "loyal" to certain things. [/quote]
