Beware explanations from AI in health care

I think that a lot, perhaps most, AI diagnoses would involve a feedback loop that tracks the patient's health outcomes.

Here are some examples of feedback: - The AI misses a cancer that gets worse and is later detected on a blood test. - The AI detects a cancer on an x-ray but a (more accurate) CT or biopsy indicates that there is no cancer

These kinds of feedback loops should allow the clinical performance of AI to be measured and hopefully improved over time.

This has been going on for 25ish years now, but the iteration is quite slow and there are systemic barriers to speeding it up.
