In response to, “How I learned to stop worrying and love machine learning”

I read with great interest the recent contribution, “How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Machine Learning,”1 in which the authors describe common fears surrounding the use of convolutional neural networks (ie, machine learning) for the diagnosis of skin cancers from clinical and dermatoscopic images. As a matter of fact, the potential of arti ficial intelligence (AI) in dermatology was first introduced over 30 years ago with expert systems, a computational method based on a set of reasoning rules, to aid in the differential diagnosis of facial tumors.
