Will Artificial Intelligence Replace Doctors? It's Complicated.

Will artificial intelligence (AI) replace doctors and other clinicians? As both a doctor and a data scientist passionate about using AI, machine learning, and data analytics to improve healthcare and patient outcomes, I have conflicting thoughts and feelings on this topic. In fact, I have three very different views. Viewpoints 1 and 2 are those of an optimist or a pessimist, depending on how one looks at the issue. Viewpoint 3 is more pragmatic and nuanced, warranting further explanation.
