Artificial Intelligence (AI) is currently unable to pass one of the qualifying radiology examinations, suggesting that this promising technology is not yet ready to replace doctors, finds a study in the Christmas issue of The BMJ.

AI is increasingly being used for some tasks that doctors do, such as interpreting radiographs (x-rays and scans) to help diagnose a range of conditions.
