What if AI isn\u2019t that great? What if we\u2019ve been overstating its potential to a frankly dangerous degree? That\u2019s the concern of leading cancer experts in the NHS, who warn that the health service is obsessing over new tech to the point that it\u2019s putting patient safety at risk. From our story yesterday<\/a>:<\/p>\n

In a sharply worded warning, the cancer experts say that \u2018novel solutions\u2019 such as new diagnostic tests have been wrongly hyped as \u2018magic bullets\u2019 for the cancer crisis, but \u2018none address the fundamental issues of cancer as a systems problem\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n

A \u2018common fallacy\u2019 of NHS leaders is the assumption that new technologies can reverse inequalities, the authors add. The reality is that tools such as AI can create \u2018additional barriers for those with poor digital or health literacy\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n

AI is a workflow tool, but actually, is it going to improve survival? Well, we\u2019ve got limited evidence of that so far. Yes, it\u2019s something that could potentially help the workforce, but you still need people to take a patient\u2019s history, to take blood, to do surgery, to break bad news.<\/em><\/p>\n

Become the centre for digital expertise and delivery in government, improving how the <\/em>government and public services interact with citizens.<\/em><\/p>\n

We will act as a leader and partner across government, with industry and the research communities, to boost Britain\u2019s economic performance and power-up our public services to improve the lives and life chances of people through the application of science and technology.<\/em><\/p>\n
