Mitchell H. Katz, MD, CEO of NYC Health + Hospitals, has expressed readiness to implement artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology as soon as regulatory frameworks are established. During a panel discussion, he noted that AI is already being utilized for analyzing mammograms and X-rays, with the potential to replace many radiologists by managing initial reads. David Lubarsky, MD, from Westchester Medical Center Health Network, reported success with AI in breast cancer detection, claiming it outperforms human radiologists in accuracy. However, concerns about patient safety and the risks of premature AI adoption were raised by several medical professionals, including Mohammed Suhail, MD, who warned that AI-only reads could lead to patient harm. The discussion also touched on the need for regulatory changes in New York to allow AI systems to operate independently, a proposal supported by Sandra Scott, MD, CEO of One Brooklyn Health. The ongoing debate reflects a tension between optimism for AI's potential benefits and caution regarding its limitations and risks in medical practice.
