A new direction to promote the implementation of artificial intelligence in natural clinical settings

Artificial intelligence (AI) researchers claim that they have made great achievements' in clinical realms. However, clinicians point out the so-called achievements’ have no ability to implement into natural clinical settings. The root cause for this huge gap is that many essential features of natural clinical tasks are overlooked by AI system developers without medical background. In this paper, we propose that the clinical benchmark suite is a novel and promising direction to capture the essential features of the real-world clinical tasks, hence qualifies itself for guiding the development of AI systems, promoting the implementation of AI in real-world clinical practice.
