Abstract:
The thinking process of medical diagnosis requires a comprehensive and analytical judgment.However,in both judgment processes,human thinking has inevitable limitations.With the development of artificial intelligence(AI)technology,symbolism and connectionism can effectively compensate for the deficiencies of human thinking in some respects,making more accurate diagnostic judgments,but they also have their limitations.It is conceivable that the integration and development of symbolism and connectionism will assist in enhancing the capabilities of medical-assisted diagnosis.However,there is still a tension between accuracy,transparency,and interpretability regarding the application of connectionism in AI,and many concerns about AI have arisen due to its lack of transparency and interpretability.By sorting out the thought process of medical diagnosis,organizing the differences among various AI paradigms and the changes in semantic philosophy and truth concepts behind AI,ethical concerns about the application of AI can be alleviated to a certain extent,and the practical application of AI in the field of medical diagnosis can be promoted.
