Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming medicine. Multiple new studies suggest AI systems are outperforming emergency room physicians in diagnosing diseases as well as radiologist physicians in detecting cancers on imaging studies.<\/p>\n

As an example, a study published in Science found an AI reasoning model outperformed two experienced emergency medicine doctors at diagnosing patients and making managing decisions about their care. The AI model was able to do this strictly by examining electronic medical health records and the limited information that had been available to the physicians at the time.<\/p>\n

In another study published in Gut, an AI model was able to detect pancreatic cancers on routine CT scans up to three years before being diagnosed clinically. The model also outperformed experienced radiologists by two to three fold in terms of correctly diagnosing pancreatic tumors before being diagnosed clinically.<\/p>\n

These breakthroughs could revolutionize healthcare in a powerful way. For instance, being able to diagnose pancreatic cancer could dramatically increase survival, since currently 85% of patients with pancreatic cancer receive a diagnosis after the tumor has spread to other parts of the body beyond the pancreas, with 5-year survival rates below 15%. Earlier diagnosis would mean being able to aggressively treat the tumor at a stage that could significantly increase survival.<\/p>\n

Although promising, these advances in AI reveal something deeper and more important\u2014doctors are needed now more than ever. Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n

Errors<\/h2>\n

AI tools are showing incredible advances and get better with time, but are far from perfect. One of the greatest risks in healthcare AI is overreliance. Algorithms can produce false positive results, which means diagnosing an abnormality when none exists. As in example, in the aforementioned study in Gut on pancreatic cancer, the specificity of AI in detecting pancreatic cancer before clinical diagnosis was 81%. This also means that nearly 1 in…<\/p>\n
