AI: A bot scored almost as good as a doctor on a radiology exam but still won’t be able to replace humans

The artificial intelligence It could be applied in the medical field. This was demonstrated by a system that uses this technology by passing a radiology exam. However, although this is a great advance, it would not yet be ready to replace the human being.

A group of researchers in the United Kingdom revealed that the AI ​​passed such a test with a Average overall accuracy of 79.5% across 10 exams.

This is quite a good result if one takes into account that the precision average for a human radiologist is 84.8%. The technology was developed by the French company IA Milvue.

Those who were in charge of this study, published in the British Medical Journal, wanted to know if the artificial intelligence bot was capable of passing the exam Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists. “This part of the exam is designed to ‘stress test’ candidates for speed and accuracy”they added.

On the other hand, the results also revealed that the AI ​​correctly diagnosed the hands, carpal bones, and feet. Similarly, it identified images that radiologists correctly diagnose 91% of the time.

As positive as these figures are, the researchers determined that the AI ​​still needs more training analyzing those areas considered ‘non-interpretable’. “The AI ​​candidate would still need further training to achieve the same level of performance and skill of an average FRCR newly qualified radiologist”they finished.
