Considerations on the basis of medical reasoning for the use in AI applications

Abstract

This study discusses the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in medical reasoning and decision-making, with a focus on the challenges and opportunities associated with the massive consumption of data required for training AI systems, and contrasts this with the limited data typically available to medical practitioners. We advocate for a balanced approach that includes small data and emphasize the importance of maintaining the art of clinical reasoning amid technological advancements. Finally, we highlight the potential of multidisciplinary research in addressing the complexities of medical reasoning and suggest the necessity of careful abstraction and conceptual modeling in AI applications.
