Selected claim, opposing its parent
Many medical decisions are best made by humans, as they require ethical judgement or intuition.
Pros
Cons
Pro claim 1, children below
The clinical judgements and intuitions of doctors cannot easily be structured into data, meaning an AI cannot be trained to develop these skills.
Pro claim 2, children below
Doctors often have to make ethical decisions; these can and should not be left for an AI system to evaluate.
Con claim 1, children below
The use of intuition by doctors often entrenches certain harmful biases in medical care.
