Synopsis:
 
Dr Manlhiot discussed:

Generic medicine (Everyone is the same )

Does not require predictive analytics Current paradigm for most of medicine 

Stratified medicine (Management by sub-groups) 

Requires moderately accurate probabilistic models Currently possible in simple clinical situations 

(Personalized medicine) 

Management targeted to the individual Requires highly accurate predictive models 

Narrow AI (today)

Can execute focused tasks, consistent with training. Cannot self-expand functionality.
Outperform humans in specific, repetitive functions, even if tasks are complex
 

General AI (AGI) (decade ?)-------

Can perform broad tasks without specific training in a way that is similar to human intelligence. Is able to compete with humans, earn a university degree and convince humans it is human (~Turing test)
 

Super AI (ASI) (sci-fi ?)--------

Demonstrate intelligence beyond human capabilities, can self-improve, expand, replicate, and more…
 
 
Why are clinical prediction models failing implementation at such a high rate?
