Artificial intelligence as a medical device in radiology: ethical and regulatory issues in Europe and the United States
Worldwide interest in artificial intelligence (AI) applications is growing rapidly. In medicine, devices based on machine/deep learning have proliferated, especially for image analysis, presaging new significant challenges for the utility of AI in healthcare. This inevitably raises numerous legal and ethical questions. In this paper we analyse the state of AI regulation in the context of medical device development, and strategies to make AI applications safe and useful in the future. We analyse
Children conform, adults resist: A robot group induced peer pressure on normative social conformity
People are known to change their behavior and decisions to conform to others, even for obviously incorrect facts.
