A.I. Doctors Have a Trust Problem

Imagine you're a 59-year old man, and you go to your doctor with chest pains. The doctor thinks it might be a heart attack and orders further tests. Now, imagine you're a 59-year old woman with the same symptoms. The doctor tells you that you're probably having a panic attack. These strikingly different suggestions, however, didn't come from a doctor, but from a popular health care app called GP at Hand, which uses artificial intelligence to tell you what might be wrong with you based on your symptoms.
