Dr Robot can see you now

Artificial intelligence isn't likely to replace doctors, says a researcher, but it's likely their role will change as more artificial intelligence is developed. A study by Whangarei doctors William Diprose and Nicholas Buist has highlighted rapid progress of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) in the health sector. They say a safe and sustainable healthcare system needs to look beyond human potential towards solutions such as AI. Q: Could artificial intelligence spell the end of doctors as we know them? Diprose and Buist are right to highlight the prospects of artificial intelligence in healthcare.
