What are critics of AI skeptical about its use in medicine?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about what critics of AI are skeptical about regarding its use in medicine. 
Option 1: 'Because we trust experts because they come from reputable institutions, but AI doesn't come from a reputable institution.' This choice relies on the notion of institutional legitimacy; however, AI can be developed by organizations with strong reputations and rigorous standards, so the claim that AI inherently comes from an illegitimate source is exaggerated and ignores the reality that AI systems can be produced by credible researchers and institutions. 
Option 2: 'Because we trust experts because they can justify their reasoning to us, and AI cannot justify its reasoning.' This option highlights a key concern often raised in AI ethics and medicine: explainability and justification. Humans can provide reasoning steps and evidence for decisions, whereas AI systems may be opaque, offering outputs without transparent or easily understandable justification, which undermines trust and accountability in medical contexts. This line of reasoning aligns with widely discussed critiques about AI interpretability. 
Option 3: 'Because we trust experts because they can empathize with our situation, and AI can't empathize with us.' Empathy is indeed valuable in patient care, but AI can simulate compassionate responses or tailor interactions; the core skepticism in medicine usually emphasizes explanation and justification rather than purely emotional support. This answer captures a facet but overstates the uniqueness of empathy as a barrier, since human clinicians also establish trust and rapport through interaction. 
Option 4: 'Because we trust experts because of their years of schooling, and AI doesn't have years of schooling.' This is a shallow framing, conflating formal credentials with trust in decision-making. The issue in medicine is not just credentials but the ability to provide transparent reasoning, evidence, and validation across diverse patients and scenarios. 
Across the options, the strongest critique that maps onto a central, widely discussed concern about AI in medicine is about the ability of AI to justify its reasoning. The other options touch on related, but less central or partially inaccurate points about legitimacy, empathy, or credentials.
