Abstract
The recent application of artificial intelligence (AI) methods to computer-assisted medical decision making (CMD) systems has enabled the pursuit of relatively ambitious projects, some of which seek to counter the limitations of more traditional approaches (see Part I of this presentation, beginning on page 160). AI methods in medicine have emphasized CMD systems whose “reasoning” is transparent, sometimes modeling human decision making, and have stressed the importance of creating programs that can explain why they come up with certain answers.
