Morris Levin, MD, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, explores the complex question of whether AI is ready for use in medicine. While it has been integrated into medical practices and shown usefulness, it's not suitable to replace physicians and nurses. Concerns about AI revolve around its potential errors and confidentiality issues. This raises questions about our tolerance for AI errors compared to human errors. Additionally, there's a need to address confidentiality when personal medical data is stored in AI systems. The ""black box"" nature of AI development, where it's often unclear how it functions, poses challenges for control and oversight. While AI holds promise, it needs careful deployment and ongoing evaluation to navigate these challenges. This interview took place at the 18th Annual Congress on Controversies in Neurology (CONy 2024) in London, UK.
