Hospitals struggle to validate AI-generated clinical summaries Click here to read AI health care companies say they’ll keep humans in the loop. But what does that actually mean? “‘Human in the loop’ is a stop-gap solution to make progress and punt questions around trust, liability, cross population performance, and a full accounting of the consequences of algorithm-guided work to a later date,” Stanford Health Care’s chief data scientist Nigam Shah told STAT. “It’s basically a get out of jail free card in my view.” Click here to read

AI health care companies say they’ll keep humans in the loop. But what does that actually mean?

“‘Human in the loop’ is a stop-gap solution to make progress and punt questions around trust, liability, cross population performance, and a full accounting of the consequences of algorithm-guided work to a later date,” Stanford Health Care’s chief data scientist Nigam Shah told STAT. “It’s basically a get out of jail free card in my view.”

A new $5 million grant from the Warren Alpert Foundation was recently awarded to the Department of Biomedical Data Science (DBDS) at the Stanford School of Medicine. The grant will fund the training of 15 graduate scholars over the next five years to enhance training and retention of scholars in computational biology/artificial intelligence (CBAI).

Manisha Desai op-ed in San Francisco Chronicle: “AI is transforming medicine, but there’s also too much unfounded hype”

“Recently, my colleagues and I at Stanford launched a study of a promising AI tool to screen for colon cancer. Earlier trials had suggested the tool could help doctors detect potentially cancerous growths called polyps during colonoscopies. Our study was one of the first to roll it out in a real-world clinical environment.

“What we found shocked us: The tool did not improve polyp detection rates or other outcomes. But then this is not the first artificial intelligence health care product that has failed to deliver.”
