How do pediatricians get ready for the impact of AI in Medicine?
In this month’s Journal of Medical Internet Research, a cross-section of AI experts and pediatricians explore how clinicians can approach, understand, and utilize AI to the greatest advantage of patients and practices alike. Improving clinical engagement with AI is critical to developing future technological solutions that are responsive to clinical workflows and needs.
AI is an inevitable part of the future—and to be honest, the present—of healthcare. It is going to be essential that healthcare professionals receive training in the fundamentals of AI and how it works, what its limitations and challenges are, and how they can actively shape how that AI is implemented and improved over time. At its best, AI helps physicians do their jobs faster, more efficiently, and with more time for the human side of patient care. At its worst, AI can magnify bias and inequity.
A greater knowledge of the nuts and bolts of AI will give clinicians the information they need to use the advancements made available to them, avoid potential pitfalls along the way, and eventually become co-designers in future AI-based solutions.
