The great cost reduction potential
If humans are as good/bad as the artificial model, then we can replace the humans with the model and no change in outcome is seen. That makes it possible simply to replace the human and reduce the costs of the medical system.
The model is paid once and does not need a pause, sleep or expensive food and will not complain etc.. Humans are pesky buggers demanding a lot of things, which the model no longer needs or does. It will be a real and large reduction of costs associated with diagnosis. The model will give larger throughput at a lower cost per unit. Fire the doctors, I say. Let the statistical machine take over.
Insurance is no longer a problem. The doctor does not need it anymore and no one can blame a program, can they now. Those responsible for using the program running the model or creators of the model can dodge the bullet using finger pointing, blame deflection and political maneuvering. And since the model works as good as humans, it is the Right ThingTM to do. We all need to cut cost. Welcome, you model medical overlords.
