  • Sukel investigates whether people can trust an AI-driven diagnostic apps. The UK National Health Service (NHS) is trialling an AI-assisted app to see if it performs better than the existing telephone triage line. In the US and mainland Europe, health insurers and national healthcare providers are hopeful Al-based medical apps will improve care. For decades, researchers have been honing artificial intelligence, including deep-learning algorithms, which are designed to learn without being fed rules or constraints. That's not just hype. When Sebastian Thrun and his team at Stanford University in California trained a deep-learning neural network using more than 100,000 images of skin problems, ranging from cancer to insect bites, then tested it on 14,000 new images, the system correctly diagnosed melanomas more often than seasoned dermatologists.
