Exercise 3

Researchers in medical AI have arguedthat CDS systems should reason fromclinical data in a way that closelymatches the reasoning strategies of thevery best clinical experts, as suchexperts are the most clever diagnosti-cians and the most experienced treat-ment specialists that there are. Otherresearchers maintain that expert reason-ing, no matter how excellent, is at somelevel inherently flawed, and that CDSsystems must be driven from the miningof large amounts of solid data. How doyou account for the apparent differencebetween these views? Which view isvalid? Explain your answer.
