AI in Cancer Medicine: Can We Trust the Black Box?

Dr. Francisco J. Esteva, a medical oncologist specializing in cancer research and treatment, discusses the trustworthiness of artificial intelligence in cancer medicine, especially when its inner workings are not fully understood. In this insightful video, Dr. Esteva explores how AI is revolutionizing cancer care by accurately pinpointing tumors, identifying genetic mutations, and predicting treatment responses. However, the complex nature of these AI systems often leads to a “black box” effect, where results are delivered without clear explanations, posing significant challenges to patient safety and doctor confidence.

DESCRIPCIÓN EN ESPAÑOL:
