There are different types of AI
Weak AI - an AI-based algorithm that offers suggestions based on previous choices - think Netflix offering suggestions of series or movies.
@CCSSA2022

Strong AI - this is the type of AI probably to be used in ICU, where it integrates complex data and makes some decisions, preferably with some human oversight and input. Integrated closed loop haemodynamic support would be an ICU application.
#CCSSA2022

Super AI - AI that supercedes human intelligence, generally accepted that its best to be avoided (think Terminator).
#CCSSA2022

Investment in AI is exponentially growing globally, and it is slowly making inroads into critical care. There is a plethora of information produced by a single ICU patient, and deep machine learning will likely lead to some interesting suggestions by AIs down the line #CCSSA2022

Risks of cyberattacks, systemic bias and mismatch need to be guarded against, to avoid the potential of harm. Also, when harm occurs, who takes responsibility?
