Artificial Intelligence in Medicine Survey
Hello, I am a student at the Massachusetts Academy of Math & Science (at
Worcester Polytechnic Institute) and I am doing an interdisciplinary project
(humanities & science) on artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine. As part of
my project I am conducting a survey of medical professionals to find out more
about the state of AI in medicine today. I know most who read this newsgroup
are very busy people so I didn't make the survey awfully long. If you do have
an interest in responding to me, please do so by email. I can be reached at
field of research.
Sincerely,
Adam Stachelek
