Artificial Intelligence, Heuristic Biases, and the Optimization of Health Outcomes: Cautionary Optimism

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in clinical care offers great promise to improve patient health outcomes and reduce health inequity across patient populations. However, inherent biases in these applications, and the subsequent potential risk of harm can limit curren...
