A team led by Sarah Jabbour from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor also found that biased AI model predictions with explanations lowered accuracy by about nine percentage points. However, accuracy improved by over four percentage points when clinicians reviewed a patient clinical vignette with standard AI model predictions and model explanations compared with baseline measures. “Given the unprecedented pace of AI development, it is essential...

AI model identifies high-risk lung cancer in nonsmokers
In this study, the researchers externally validated the model in a separate group of never-smokers who underwent routine outpatient chest x-rays from 2013 to 2014. The primary outcome was six-year incident lung cancer, identified using International Classification of Disease codes. Risk scores were then converted to low, moderate, and high-risk groups based on externally derived risk thresholds.
Of 17,407 patients (mean age 63 years) included in the study, 28% were deemed high risk by the deep learning model, and 2.9% of these patients later had a diagnosis of lung cancer, according to the findings. In addition, the high-...
