#SkoltechZaryadye: Can artificial intelligence replace doctors?

Vinod Khosla, Silicon Valley’s major venture investor, believes that by 2035, all human doctors will be replaced by robots. Can he be right? There is every indication that he can: today, machine learning systems are producing stunning results in image recognition and processing techniques which are widely used in X-ray, MRI, ECG and ultrasound tests that amount to 90% of all the medical data. AI-based solutions trained on thousands of medical images can diagnose 50 eye diseases with nearly 100% accuracy and outperform qualified doctors in detecting diabetes based on a retinal image.
