Figure 1 Interaction between artificial intelligence development and artificial intelligence deployment. Artificial intelligence (AI) development and AI deployment should be combined to revise current models and offer tangible benefits derived from current researches. AI development should find the right interaction between three roles: physicians, data and algorithm. AI deployment in the form of prospective randomized controlled trials can facilitate published models to generate bedside merits and evaluate whether major biases exist. The results from deployment testing can, in turn, offer insights into the development and modify the substandard algorithm.
