Abstract
It is of paramount importance that healthcare professionals can participate in the academic and societal debate surrounding medical AI. To realise this critical-constructive guidance of AI, it is necessary to be able to distinguish between different types of AI, different applications of AI and to paint the different shades of grey in the current black-and-white debate. This article describes and nuances eight misconceptions that currently dominate the public debate surrounding AI in healthcare. By asking ourselves as healthcare professionals 'what specifically defines our line of work?' we must define what aspects of our occupation we want to have AI either carry out or support, and in what way.
