£250m fund for NHS artificial intelligence laboratory slammed as tech for tech's sake

A previous article (https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/05/21/ai_lung_cancer/) suggests that it MAYBE a replacement for more trained hospital and laboratory staff, as it frees up time spent checking diagnostic images to spend more time with patients while also resulting in less false positives/negatives

While it won't address chronic understaffing or a lack of scanners, it at least improves efficiency of the current system, benefiting both staff and patients.
