And the bot misdiagnoses or has a malfunction, leading to the patient not getting the correct treatment they required. Yikes.
- girvo 10y ago> And the bot misdiagnoses vs. a regular doctor doing that? Which happens all the time, actually. Its really interesting how we expect computers to be far more accurate than we ever expect humans to be! Of course, I'm being a little disingenuous: You can sue a doctor, you can't sue a bot.
- thaeli 10y ago> You can sue a doctor, you can't sue a bot. But you can sue the company that made the bot, and the company that employed it. With humans the employer can often dump responsibility on the "fall guy" who made the mistake, while with bots you often have to (properly) consider any failure as a system problem.
