Artificial intelligence (AI) is a tool capable to broadly reshape medicine, potentially improving the experiences of both clinicians and patients. The most relevant advancement has been obtained in medical imaging, inducing already six years ago Geoffrey Hinton, one of the most prominent scientists in deep learning, to state that we should have stopped training radiologists. AI also addresses several promising avenues for new medical AI research, including non-image data sources, unconventional problem formulations and human–AI collaboration. However, the massive adoption of AI in medicine poses also serious technical and ethical challenges, spanning from data scarcity to racial bias. Nonetheless, if AI’s potentials are properly realized, they could make healthcare tremendously more accurate, efficient and accessible for patients worldwide.
In this symposium, we will explore several aspects of AI and medicine interaction with the help of Australian, Italian and Italo-Australian experts in the field.
