AI is also certain to make wrong diagnoses and thus cause fatalities. This story barely makes the news at all but I'll bet you anything you like the first fatality will make global scaremongering headlines about the dangers of technology. As always, what matters is whether it's better than the alternative.
Reports assert that IBM’s artificial intelligence (AI) system, Watson, just saved the life of a Japanese woman by correctly identifying her disease. This is notable because, for some time, her illness went undetected using conventional methods, and doctors were stumped.
The system looked at the woman’s genetic information and compared it to 20 million clinical oncology studies. After doing so, it determined that the patient had an exceedingly rare form of leukemia.
