Differences between human and artificial/augmented intelligence in medicine

Abstract

The emphasis on artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly increasing across many diverse aspects of society. This manuscript discusses some of the key topics related to the expansion of AI. These include a comparison of the unique cognitive capabilities of human intelligence with AI, and the potential risks of using AI in clinical medicine. The general public attitudes towards AI are also discussed, including patient perspectives. As the promotion of AI in high-risk situations such as clinical medicine expands, the limitations, risks and benefits of AI need to be better understood.
