“ AI has the potential to revolutionise healthcare in diagnosis , treatment , and clerical processes creating new jobs and allowing existing staff to be more efficient ”

“ It must present the information in a way that ' s understandable for the audience . In healthcare , this is of course the doctor and the patient . So , if you ' re going to tell people that they have cancer – you better say why .” said Bangert .
It ’ s clear that trust is something that Samsung SDS must generate alongside the global AI community . But beyond just the imaging domain , Samsung is exploring electronic medical records that go beyond the pure image to unify the analysis of natural language processing , which would be relevant to the text that the doctor writes .
“ The ‘ multimodal ’ AI system can take care of image input , text input , numerical input , and unify it to a holistic picture of what might be the case , and what should be done about it .” said Bangert .
Bangert focuses on the good that AI can bring : “ By automating certain tasks , physicians and patients can deal more with the planning of the treatment , discussing how treatment might impact the patient ' s life . Doctors can act as doctors rather than expert data processors .”
Another criticism of AI-enabled automation is that it ’ s making a lot of people redundant , but that is not true according to Bangert : “ AI , in general , is creating new jobs and allowing people to work in very different areas – in medicine specifically . Because of the lack of personnel , this is extremely welcome . And of course , patients expect doctors to be patient-facing rather than be internal facing .”
