I think your hypothetical is just false, that we can’t even give AI that much potential credit. And this is incredibly obvious if you ask about transparency, reliability, and accountability.
For example, it may be possible to come up with a weighted formula that looks at various symptoms and possible treatments and is used to come up with a suggestion of what to do with a patient in a particular situation. That’s not artificial intelligence. That’s just basic use of formulas and statistics.
So where is the AI? I think the AI would have to be when you get into these black box situations, where you want to throw a PDF or an Excel file at your server and get back a simple answer. And then what happens when you want clarity on why that’s the answer? There’s no real reply, there’s no truthful reply, it’s just a black box that doesn’t understand what it’s doing and you can’t believe any of the explanations anyway.
