Computers are definitely going to replace a subset of doctors. Here is a typical scenario, a patient detects that something is wrong with them and then they go to a doctor. The doctor asks the patient some questions, takes some measurements, and matches the symptoms and measurements into a set of possible conditions. Either the set is small is enough where a doctor can send the patient away with some medicine or the set is large enough where the doctor sends the patient to get some more measurements in the form of different types of imaging. Maybe a specialist looks at the imaging and tries to see if theres any oddities in the imaging that would fit with the symptoms or oddities in general. Looking at images and trying to ascertain oddities seems like something that a learning algorithm will be able to do rather well given enough training data. The first part where a traditional family doctor tries to match symptoms, measurements to possible diagnoses also seems like something a computer should be able to do well.
