Medical diagnosis has been one of the primary application areas of AI since the 70s (maybe earlier, I can't remember off the top of my head). The widespread non-availability of automatic doctors should tell you how well that has worked :-(.

Coincidentally enough I worked both in AI (1980s) and drug development (2000s) and now really understand how hard it is!

I do believe we will soon see automated radiology analysis as it is likely to appear to be most amenable to automated analysis. Presumably in Asia first as the US FDA will justifiably require a lot of validation. The opportunity for silent defect is quite high -- you are right to say "especially dangerous"
