Microsoft claims AI system better than doctors at diagnosing complex health conditions
(www.theguardian.com)
I'm a white man and I promise you that it's no protection from our shitty medical system. My adult life has been a misery for at least 15 of the past 20 years because of multiple rushed and incorrect diagnoses. There are literally thousands of conditions that the system is incapable of recognizing because they involve multiple specialties, fit between specialties, or are frequently referred to the wrong specialist who won't look for causes outside their specialty.
A lot of it comes down to the limited amount of time Doctors get with the patient. They have to come up with a conclusion in 10-15 minutes, then move on, then it's usually several months before they see the patient again.
