Deep learning based diagnostic AI systems based on medical images are starting to provide similar performance as human experts.
Lack of transparency in complex AI systems hinders their adoption in high-risk applications like healthcare.
Conformal analysis is being deployed to address the problem of lack of transparency in foundation models for skin lesion classification.
The method of conformal analysis provides coverage guarantee at population level and uncertainty score for each individual, making it a helpful fairness metric for evaluating AI models.
