AI diagnoses pneumonia from chest X-rays better than radiologists

Should radiologists be worried about their jobs?

Stanford ML Group shows how to diagnose pneumonia from chest X-rays better than radiologists. The approach is based on convolutional neuronal networks. Conclusions are very interesting. An estimated two thirds of the global population lacks access to radiology diagnostics and AI support for this technology can improve healthcare delivery and increase access to medical imaging expertise in parts of the world where access to skilled radiologists is limited.
