Review
"In this book, S. Scott Graham meticulously lays out examples of AI models being used in medical care, critically examines their use, and contrasts what is known about AI from the scientific literature with claims being made by AI model developers, medical experts, and futurists. In doing so, Dr. Graham brings health AI to life by painting a rich picture of how AI is developed, studied, and marketed, and why these processes fundamentally incentivize hype as a core component of adoption. This book is refreshing because it directly takes experts to task for their claims on medical AI that result in extreme hype or cynicism. For AI newcomers and experts alike, this book will leave you with a deep appreciation for the complex social phenomena that underlie the lifecycle of AI models from development to deployment." -- Karandeep Singh, MD, MMSc, Chair, Michigan Medicine Clinical Intelligence Committee, University of Michigan
