However, they often operate like a &#8220;black box&#8221; where the underlying processes are unclear.<\/li>\n<li>The &#8220;black box&#8221; concept leads to two main issues: a lack of transparency and a lack of interpretability. Physicians struggle to understand how AI systems function, which impacts trust and usage.<\/li>\n<li>To improve transparency, Dr. Keith Dreyer suggests standardizing the information in AI catalogs to help doctors make informed decisions about their use.<\/li>\n<li>Poon and Sung propose a stepwise method for making AI systems more transparent, using techniques like Garson\u2019s Algorithm and LIME to explain the AI&#8217;s decision-making process.<\/li>\n<li>Some experts, like Eric Topol, argue that AI&#8217;s potential benefits outweigh transparency concerns, provided safety is maintained. They caution against halting AI development due to the &#8220;black box&#8221; nature.<\/li>\n<li>The debate around AI transparency in healthcare urges developers to rethink AI creation methods and encourages healthcare providers and patients to reconsider their expectations and priorities in treatment planning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Black Boxing in Healthcare Artificial Intelligence https:\/\/www.cureus.com\/abstracts\/1665-black-boxing-in-healthcare-artificial-intelligence Publish Date: 2026-02-05 19:49:00 Source Domain: www.cureus.com Artificial&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":185621,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/public.cureus.com\/fallback\/new_default_article_image_0.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-185620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185620"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=185620"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185620\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":185622,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185620\/revisions\/185622"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/185621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=185620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=185620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=185620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
