AI-powered prediction models made accurate predictions within the trial they were developed in, but gave "random predictions" outside of it, according to a new research. Researchers said the study showed that generalisations of predictions of artificial intelligence-based models across different study centres cannot be ensured at the moment and that these models were "highly context-dependent". The current study pertained to the field of precision psychiatry, which makes use of data-related models for targeted therapies and suitable medications for individuals. "We have strict quality requirements for clinical models and we also have to ensure that models in different contexts provide good predictions. That these AI models have highly limited generalisability was an important signal for clinical practice and shows that further research is needed to actually improve psychiatric care, the researchers said.
