Will AI Replace Ophthalmologists? TVST

Beyond the human interaction component, translating AI from laboratory experiment to a real-world tool entails additional challenges. "Do no harm," the first line of the Hippocratic Oath, signifies that physicians employing tools such as AI in patient care delivery must maintain safety as the first priority. As Luke Oakden-Rayner,12 a radiologist and critical AI blogger explains, Silicon Valley's ethos of "move fast break things" can be especially dangerous in the context of medical AI. In ophthalmology, we currently lie at the "dotted line," as triage systems such as the ones developed by IDX and Google DeepMind are precursors of future diagnostic and predictive systems.5,13 The Moorfields DeepMind algorithm already has a diagnostic component, and predictive systems are just around the corner.
