    Let’s say we have a group of 10 people. 7 with cancer, 3 without.

    If the AI detects cancer in 6 out of the 7, that’s a success of 86%.

    If the AI detects cancer in 2 of the 3 healthy people, that’s a success of 100%.

    So, operating the healthy ones always leads to a success and AI is trained by success. That’s why a human should look at the scans too, for now.

        Well, theoretically, an organism is nothing but a system running fully automatically. So I can see the possibility to have it fixed by another system. In the meantime, AI should support doctors, by making the invisible visible.
