Feb 12th Chiara Longoni Presentation: Resistance to medical artificial intelligence
Chiara’s talk will be based on a paper that she co-authored with NYU Stern’s Andrea Bonezzi and Susilo’s faculty thought leader and BU Questrom’s Carey Morewedge. The paper illuminates both the psychological obstacles and potential solutions to acceptance of artificial intelligence in medicine.
Their research and article pose an interesting question—even though medical AI can perform with expert-level accuracy and deliver cost-effective care at scale, why do patients overwhelmingly prefer to be seen and diagnosed by humans? The answer lies in the fact that patients believe their medical needs are unique and, therefore, cannot be adequately addressed by algorithms.
