“My doctor used AI to diagnose me and I'm not sure I trust it.”
AI-assisted diagnosis catches things humans miss — it also misses things humans catch. Neither is perfect alone. The issue isn't whether AI was involved. The issue is whether your doctor used it as one input among many or treated it as the final word. You have every right to ask how the diagnosis was reached, what role AI played, and whether a second opinion is warranted. Your body. Your right to understand.
Your Practice
Call your doctor's office. Ask specifically: "What role did AI play in my diagnosis? What other factors were considered?" If the answer is vague, get a second opinion from a provider who will walk you through the reasoning. Healthcare AI can save lives. But informed patients save their own.
The Architects
“Trust, but verify.”
— Russian proverb, popularized by Ronald Reagan
