I don't think we're ever going to end up replacing doctors, but in the same way that tech accelerates other industries, AI should accelerate healthcare. Tying "expert machine" to "machine learning" could massively improve the pace at which Emergency Departments can triage patients, for instance, or provide doctors another useful input tool when diagnosing tricky conditions.

Perhaps replacing some of the low-end GPs who essentially just walk through a decision tree.

  We could make an AI to do the hellish coding and insurer reimbursement interactions, to free them up to do medicine. Most "low-end GPs" are still extremely impressive intellects.
