Artificial intelligence and machine learning have the potential to greatly transform healthcare. We will begin with highlighting a few applications in radiology, oncology and ophthalmology. Although these techniques have shown remarkable performance for many tasks including medical image analysis, we will share some of the challenges that we have faced in developing robust and trustworthy algorithms including a lack of repeatability, explainability, generalizability, and the potential for bias. We will conclude with some mitigating strategies and recommendations.
