How do you judge a new medicine? do you ask if does the correct things 100% of the time? or do you just want it to be better than the other drugs ?
I think the same logic applies to other technologies: products generally have to pass the standard safety tests/level common in their industry, not be perfect.
Will this too happen in AI ? maybe , but maybe due to political pressure , the standards require from AI will be much higher.

Often this is in conjunction with a consultation with the patient. So the general point that we don't give control to other entities that can make mistakes, I thnk still holds. But you're right in the general sense: there are other areas where we leave the interpretation of the AI (as it were) to experts and have no say in it ourselves. Road bridges would be the simplest example I can think of (given that the safety simulations are akin to a simple form of AI).
