The New York Times recently published an opinion piece, “The Robot Doctor Will See You Now,” with a compelling perspective on how the combined “abilities of doctors and A.I. would be the best of both worlds, leading to more accurate diagnoses and more efficient care.” The article’s authors, Pranav Rajpurkar and Eric J. Topol, then share a series of studies that begin to paint a picture of what an effective AI-physician partnership could look like -- with AI doing the heavy lifting on reviewing, assessing and prioritizing information relative to a patient’s case, and physicians leveraging AI’s output to do what they do best – interacting with patients, making decisions and treating.

TLI launched The Autism Knowledge Gateway (AKG) as a first step towards addressing these complex needs, but the vision set out by Rajpurkar and Topol is a reminder of AI’s ever-changing promise and what we need to do on the way to achieving its real benefits.
