“AI predicts if and when someone will experience cardiac arrest. An algorithm built to assess scar patterns in patient heart tissue can predict potentially life-threatening arrhythmias more accurately than doctors can”

As a biomedical engineer who builds medical devices, with a graduate degree focused on medical AI development and Medical School education. I can assure we're not even close to that timeline.

The reality is that some AI used in some medical applications to classify some very specific conditions in a very narrow band with highly controlled and edited datasets shows some success. Even then you often find that there are grossly poor practices when it comes to utilizing training and testing data in medical AI papers.

This stuff is not really going to take over the world (not in medicine at least) not anytime in the next several decades. The hype of AI success in medicine is a little over exaggerated.

Full disclaimer: I have not read this paper, but if it's anything like the 100s of others I have read, it's full of caveats and probably doesn't stand up to scrutiny in real world conditions.
