Description
Summary:In 1976, Maxmen predicted that artificial intelligence (AI) in the 21st century would usher in "the post-physician era," with health care provided by paramedics and computers. Today, the mass extinction of physicians remains unlikely. This Viewpoint reviews some of the factors driving wide adoption of deep learning and other forms of machine learning in the health ecosystem.
