#life health medicine, the future of science

25%

Recently, I read that when A.I. made medical recommendations, it was accurate 25% of the time.

This is a dangerously low level of correct diagnosis and relief.

As you can plainly see, 75% of its health related pronouncements were wrong.

When dealing with our well-being, we require a better roll of the dice.

Yet, I have also read that medical professionals (aka physicians and such) were relying on this technology.

If your doctor misdiagnosed you 3/4 of the time, you would seek help elsewhere.

If your doctor is relying on a robot that is wrong 3/4 of the time, perhaps s/he should rethink the situation.
