I didn't.

Only AI did.

And for a long time, we thought one of the Holy Grails would be, hey, you know, the AI would see something.

It would tell us what it saw.

We could teach it back to doctors and then they would go and see that.

But it doesn't work that way.

Modern AI techniques still don't do a very good job of explaining what is it that the AI sees.

And the AI does not think the way a doctor does.

A doctor has a very specific way of interpreting this sort of medical data.

And we've shown in a series of studies and experiments, the AI doesn't care about that.

The AI is not thinking the way we think.

It's doing its own thing, and we can't fully explain what it's doing.

But what we do know is it can see things that we can't, and it can accurately predict patients who have structural heart disease much better than I can.

We took 13 cardiologists from around the country, and we had them look at 3,000 electrocardiograms.

And then we asked AI for these electrocardiograms, does the patient have structural heart disease or not?

So we asked a yes, no question.

Random chance would be 50%.

The cardiologists were at 64%.

It's not very good.

But you know, the cardiologists weren't surprised.
