> that my spouse and her colleagues use AI A LOT for diagnosis and treatment plans

I hope they know what they're doing.


Just like anything else, you either think "that's definitely wrong" or "huh, I guess that's probably it." If its really serious, you have to pause and make of a judgement call of course.

There was a recent anecdote from the head of radiology, Mayo Clinic I believe, that went something like this:

- AI has allowed radiologists to review a much higher rate of x-rays

- The above has led to a dramatic increase in need for faster processing, more storage of scans etc

- which in turn led to needing a bigger IT department to manage all of the additional workload

There was a similar anecdote about the IRS where the claim is they went from having N accountants to having much fewer accountants but now they need N IT people to manage the new systems.
