Black boxes to white boxes: Solving the AI interpretability challenge

Sean O'Neill
14 April 2020

CCAIM Director, Professor Mihaela van der Schaar, explains that using AI and machine learning in medicine isn’t just about developing accurate models and rolling them out because, on their own, they are “black boxes” that are hard for their intended users to apply, understand, and trust. Professor van der Schaar presents a solution to this…
