The Potential Dangers of Artificial Intelligence for Radiology and Radiologists

With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) across many fields and subspecialties, there are considerable expectations for transformative impact. However, there are also concerns regarding the potential abuse of AI. Many scientists have been worried about the dangers of AI leading to “biased” conclusions in part due to the enthusiasm of the inventor or over-enthusiasm by the general public. Here, though, we are considering some scenarios in which people may intend to cause potential errors within data sets of analyzed information, resulting in incorrect conclusions and leading to potential problems with patient care and outcomes.
