Yeah your moms intuition is correct but yeah perhaps she don't get just how far ML/DL is (most people aren't really)

Image/pattern recognition is already being used intensively and the only thing that keeps it from being used more is legislation and humans.

Having more than a thousand moles and having had two melanomas I am still hoping for the arrival of a system that can do complete scan of me and automatically figure out the areas of concern.

Currently I am at Sloan Memorial and using Molesafe as a more manual way to do the same. My dermatologist on of the best with regards to melanomas in the world using colonoscopy to see if there are any melanomic cells, there is even a 3model of me in blue spedos.

But I really would feel much better when they start taking the shots regularly and have the computer look for the odd ones out.

I just really can't imagine, given the progression we see in AI image recognition on a daily basis these days, that medical fields like dermatology or radiology that revolve around scrutinizing things visually will continue to exist in anything but a dramatically shrunk supervisory form 20-30 years from now.

Neither can my dermatologists :)
