Re-branding AI for Health-care

DeepMind, Google's Artificial Intelligence subsidiary has recently made a huge step in cancer screening with its algorithm outperforming human readers. The research has received a lot of criticism since. Despite its shortcomings, the technology does have potential and it is a huge milestone for AI in medicine. Unlike most AI companies in Healthcare, DeepMind made sure to be as transparent as possible, when presenting their findings. They built trust and paved the way for adaptation by making both the limitations and the potential of their technology clear, and showed promising metrics for possible human-machine cooperation. Not only are they pioneers in AI technology, but also in its presentation. There is a lot we can learn from DeepMind, even if their solution is unable to "automate" cancer screening. After the first AI winter, AI research in the late 60s was re-branded in the form of Expert Systems: software that would mimic the decision making process of a domain expert.
