A rich agenda for the “AI in Healthcare” networking event, organised by FAITH project on 16th November afternoon.
Experts from several European countries met in the wonderful frame of Villa Palestro in Rome to address together and share their point of views on some open questions: How should artificial intelligence (AI) applications be introduced in the healthcare domain? What are the challenges faced so far, and what has been overlooked?
Everyone agrees that the common feelings when one try to move AI from research lab to the medical doctor desk are scepticism, resistance, and a sort of mistrust. Thus, an asset could be working in close collaboration with clinicians and patients’ associations.
According to Daniele Baranzini from Haikai, an AI-focused italian company, the problem could be represented by the so called “AI flyover effect: the tendency to focus with the end user on AI model performance, cross-generalization or explainability favoring an AI description of the model, rather than its actual usefulness and implementation in a business case”.
Another challenge is represented by the sharing of patient data between the centers involved which faces obstacles in terms of ethics and liability.
These and many other aspects have been discussed by the participants.
