Russian developers created a platform for self-testing of AI medical services. Experts from the Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine have developed a platform for self-testing services which is based on artificial intelligence and designed for medical tasks, such as for analyzing diagnostic images. The first working prototype of the platform is hosted on the popular GitHub service, and developers from all over the world can take part in its improvement by adding verification criteria depending on the purpose of the services. Sergey Morozov, CEO of the Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine, spoke about this at the thematic week dedicated to artificial intelligence which was part of the program of the European Congress of Radiology (ECR 2020).

But a smooth AI adoption journey requires not only technological know-how but also customer trust. But AI generates as much apprehension as it does anticipation and fear of its abuse is quickly growing. The benefits of AI may be stymied if consumer trust isn’t earned along the way.
