       Of all possible applications of #AI in #medicine, they actually thought an algorithm to determine who lives or die is a good idea?“A review published in 2021 highlighted 43 studies claiming to use machine-learning models to predict whether patients will be readmitted or die after they leave hospitals in the US. None were accurate enough for clinical use, but the authors look forward to a time when such models “improve quality of care and reduce health-care costs.”  https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/10/13/1060945/artificial-intelligence-life-death-decisions-hard-choices/

       To be honest, dealing with life and death decisions are some of the hardest parts of being a doctor. Choosing who gets to live or die even if it is through assisted suicide can be daunting. Maybe some might want to take these out of their hands and make AI have the “responsibility” for it.. 🤔
