Editorial on the Research Topic
The increasing performance of machine learning and artificial intelligence (ML/AI) models has led to them being encountered more frequently in daily life, including in clinical medicine (Bruckert et al.; Rosenfeld et al., 2021). While concerns about the opaque “black box” nature of ML/AI tools are not new, the need for practical solutions to the interpretability problem has become more pressing as ML/AI devices move from the laboratory, through regulatory processes that have yet to fully catch up to the state-of-the-art (Benrimoh et al., 2018a), and to the bedside. This special edition targets three key domains in which innovation and clearer best practices are required for the implementation of ML/AI approaches in healthcare: ensuring safety, de
