Recent years have seen the widespread of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in healthcare systems: from fundamental laboratory diagnosis to clinical medical treatments. In academics, AI has shown great potential to help medical professionals in tedious routine diagnosis and treatment planning procedures. Meanwhile, in industry, more and more health care systems are being developed with great ambition to occupy the huge market. However, there are still many concerns from the medical community: What are the principles behind the AI algorithms deployed in healthcare systems? Is the AI black box reasonable and interpretable? How could a clinician trust the AI-based systems? Will the AI-based systems be safe/reliable enough? In this talk, we’ll discuss these issues and show that to solve these challenges, cooperation among clinical, industry, academic, and government is needed.
