Data extracts for sub-theme

I think there's a lot of naivety about what it [AI] can actually do, and I think it has a lot to do with a bit in an even understanding what the real problems are in healthcare and what to solve them (…). And it's often not really problem-driven but it's technology driven. So, they basically won't just for, to do something with AI, and maybe it's scrambled to get some good use cases where they can implement it. Instead of asking really what are the problems of physicians?, and can we solve them? And if, yes, if is it, does AI play a role? So, that, I think, the approach is often just, we want to use AI and then, just give us problems, we won't, we can solve everything... [Rn29 (MEAI)]

Is it in every case an assistance the AI system can give? or is it also a disturbance? Uh, I think it's, now they, some, many people look at the improvements of the systems and "oh we should make it more transparent and so on", and, but I think some, more a misleading discussion, or a wrong place of discussion. It's also a technology drive discussion "yeah we can fix this with this another system that explains working of the other system" (laughs). So, it is a typical technology fix of a technology caused problems. And I think one should go in other way and decide what do we need to improve in the doctor-patient relationship and what can we let in this relationship and not look at "oh this data manipulating technology would lead to better results or so".
