  • How can AI deliver on its promises in healthcare?

    “It's just completely obvious that in five years deep learning is going to do better than radiologists.” So said AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton in 2016.

    Anno 2024, we can conclude that no radiologist has become obsolete; there is rather a shortage of radiologists. AI has much to offer healthcare, but most solutions are still in an experimental pre-clinical stage.

    UvA researchers Hoel Kervadec, Evangelos Kanoulas and Somaya Ben Allouch shine their light on how the gap between science and medical practice can be closed.
