An 'AI' that can diagnose schizophrenia from a brain scan – here's how it works (or doesn't)

Seems pretty low res.

27 000 is 30^3. Not exactly down to the neuron level, is it?

This is indeed "machine learning" in a very limited, highly mathematical way.

"Artificially Intelligent?" I don't think so.

Apart from false positives (or negatives) we also have the question of wheather the same results are part of other metal illnesses or disorders (illnesses are treatable, disorders have to be managed), of which there are a lot.

So it's a start, but there's a long way to go.

BTW all joking aside in most cases of schizophrenia the "split" is between the patients idea of reality and actual reality, often with the symptom of hearing voices.
