How many ways will AI change healthcare?

Among the oft-asked questions about AI is, "Will it put doctors out of business?" And while the question is of interest to pretty much everyone, no one has a more immediately vested interest in it than doctors themselves, except perhaps medical students still training to become doctors. Not surprisingly, then, AAMC News, a media outlet for the Association of American Medical Colleges, recently ran a long article that looked at the question in depth. "An array of studies have offered glimpses of AI's enormous potential," writer noted early on. From algorithms out-performing radiologists in identifying myriad forms of cancer, to AI detecting rare hereditary diseases in children, to predicting the cognitive decline in Alzheimer's patients, the triumph of AI over human counterparts has been documented far and wide.
