Conclusion
Artificial intelligence has great potential to accelerate scientific discovery in medicine and to transform healthcare. First, we have to recognize that “there is nothing artificial about AI,” as Fei-Fei Li,
the co-director of the Stanford Human-Centered AI Institute,
puts it.
“It’s inspired by people,
it’s created by people,
and—most importantly—it impacts people” [16]. “Natural” intelligence will and should always be responsible for decision making [13]. We have to implement AI in the best possible way to reflect the time-honored ethical and legal standards while ensuring the adequate protection of patient interests. Radiologists should be actively engaged in the formulation of ethical standards that will govern the use of—and research on—AI in medical imaging [14].
