The tragic thing here is that doctors in Canada do actually need support to get their work done. They are typically overloaded with paperwork, and can’t actually do their real job of helping patients.
This desperation leads to AI companies being welcomed and implemented without examining the root capabilities of the systems. They are inherently statistical machines that lack reasoning and context, and they are constrained by their training data. You should expect them to get things wrong a significant portion of the time, especially when it comes to the specifics of individual patients and unusual scenarios that their training data could not capture.
We should not be relying on them for anything serious, let alone medical applications. If you’re not an AI/software expert, you should assume that the AI companies are straight up lying to you about their capabilities, and effectively preying upon your desperation.
