AI already does remarkable things in healthcare, and the number of applications is rapidly increasing: New projects explore the potential of chatbots to create more comprehensible patient information material and their role as a virtual sparring partner for medical staff education. Algorithms might recognize pain in patients, further enhance MRI scans or early detect signs of stroke in an EEG reading. Still, even advanced AIs still tend to 'dream up' incorrect results – so developers and users must be wary of these 'hallucinations'. Enjoy reading!
