Table 4 Limitation of artificial intelligence and its potential solutions
| Limitations of AI | Potential solutions |
| Data and model drift | |
| Data availability and data quality; (b) Complexity of medical database; (c) Missing data points; (d) Inconsistent reporting of data class; (e) Imbalance in training data; and (f) Perpetuation of socioeconomic factors that affect outcomes | (a) Curated datasheets; (b) Adaptation and development of new model; (c) Multimodal AI model; (d) Inclusion of diverse population in data; and (e) Ranking of AI model based on fairness matrices |
| Ethical concern | |
| (a) Data privacy and security; (b) Equitable access; and (c) Integration with clinical practice | (a) Transparency of AI models; (b) Adress biases; (c) Ensure data privacy and security; and (d) Establish accountability with regular audit and monitoring |
| Spectrum bias and overfitting | (a) Diversified and representative training data; (b) Identifying and mitigating bias; (c) Cross validation; and (d) Ensemble learning |
| Hallucinations due to insufficient or dirty training data | (a) High quality training data; (b) Fine tuning of AI model; (c) Inclusion of fact checking mechanism; and (d) Retrieval-augmented generation |
| Generalizability (difficulty in achieving the similar level of accuracy in different geography or populations) | (a) To use curated training data set; and (b) Population based validation of AI model |
| Interpretability (due to Blackbox design of AI model) | (a) Shapley analysis; (b) Explainable AI model; (c) Saliency maps; and (d) Surrogate model |
