AI's tantalizing promise – and its missteps – are more apparent than ever, as OpenAI's ChatGPT makes headlines for its ability to cheat on college exams or conduct an imposter job interview. But, for anyone who feels inclined to dismiss AI's potential, I would urge caution. Bill Gates called recent developments in AI "every bit as important" as the emergence of the internet – a statement that should draw the attention of innovators across every discipline. In the field of healthcare, our relationship with AI has had a mixture of successes and setbacks, particularly in applications for diagnostics. To maximize our successes and realize the potential of AI, we must make a distinction between "artificial intelligence" and "augmented intelligence" to deliver meaningful change to our healthcare system.
