Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly entering health care and serving major roles.

These
include automating routine tasks in medical practice and managing medical resources. As
developers create Al systems to take on these tasks, several risks and challenges emerge.
The most obvious risk is that Al systems will sometimes be wrong. This can result in patient
injury or other health-care problems. An Al system possibly recommends the wrong drug for
a patient or fails to notice a tumor on a radiological scan. Of course, many injuries occur due
to medical error in the health-care system today, even without the involvement of AI. Al
errors are potentially different for at least two reasons. First, patients and providers may react
differently to injuries resulting from software than from human error. Second, if Al systems
become widespread, an underlying problem in one Al system might result in injuries to
thousands of patients.
Moreover, training Al systems requires large amounts of data from sources. However, health
data are often problematic. Data are typically fragmented across many different systems.
Even aside from the variety just mentioned, patients typically see different providers and
switch insurance companies. This would lead lo data split in multiple systems and multiple
formats.
Another set of risks arise around privacy. The requirement of large datasets creates incentives
for developers to collect such data from many patients. Some patients may be concerned that
this collection may violate their privacy. In fact, lawsuits have been filed based on data-
sharing between large health systems and Al developers.
The integration of Al into the health system will undoubtedly change the role of health-care
providers. A hopeful vision is that providers will be enabled to provide more-personalized
and better care, freed to spend more time interacting with patients as humans. A less hopeful
vision would see providers struggling to weather monsoon of uninterpretable predictions and
recommendations from competing algorithms. In either case, medical education will need to
prepare providers to evaluate and interpret the Al systems they will encounter in the evolving
health- care environment.
