See below a short text taken from an article on page 131 of The Economist:
"In 2020 and beyond nurses will be doing a growing number of tasks conventionally reserved for doctors, both in acute and chronic care...as diagnostic systems and surgical robots advance, nursing may be the only aspect of the health-care profession in which machines will not replace human beings".
In the context above let's also not
forget the recent AI tool developed by a California-based corporation,
which underwent rigorous testing against the world's top three
radiology experts. The AI never failed
a single diagnosis concerning cancer detection while
the best medical experts fail an average 7%.
This striking revelation prompts broader considerations. If the most
proficient medical practitioners exhibit a 7% failure rate in cancer
diagnosis, this raises legitimate concerns regarding the considerably
elevated error rates anticipated among average physicians (the majority), which may
range from 30% to 40%, and potentially even higher among subpar
practitioners. The
future of medical doctors does not seem very bright.
