AI4Health Lecture Series: Georg Dorffner

Beschreibung

The next talk of the AI4Health lecture series will continue on November 18 with a talk on "It's all about the ground truth - how to prove that AI can outperform experts " by Georg Dorffner (Medical University Vienna, Austria).

It's all about the ground truth - how to prove that AI can outperform experts

Recent successful applications of AI - in particular of deep learning in imaging, signal processing and related fields - have demonstrated that machines are often able to achieve human-level performance or even outperform human experts in classification tasks for diagnostic support. Such proofs are also at the heart of regulatory decisions of whether AI systems are fit for clinical use as a medical device. In this talk I will present several applications from our own work, as well as comparable approaches from literature, highlighting the different ways of how expert performance can be measured as the benchmark for AI validation. The central question in each application is whether a "ground truth" exists and in what form, e.g. through a gold standard comparative method or through expert opinion itself. This poses different challenges on validation that are often isufficiently addressed in literature. The talk will conclude with a more general discussion on whether and how AI sytsems can replace or, as it is often feared, replace medical personnel based on their proven performance level.
