> "AI" can't even perform as well as humans (despite plenty of promises) in a field like radiology. The idea of an AI family doc system or ER doc system actually making diagnoses (instead of being a glorified productivity tool*) is downright hilarious. Lots and lots of luck interpreting barely coherent, contradictory and often misleading inputs from patients, dealing with lost records or typos, etc. I think the future of that might be with wearables like the Apple Watch. While it probably won't replace doctors wholesale, applying ML to the data gathered from various sensors continously seems like a much better promise to me.
