> liability conundrum

So many programs and devices are used where someone would be liable if they malfunctioned. In a production line for example, if something goes wrong and it has to be turned off, every hour costs $$$ to the production plant owner. Similarly for robots: there have been cases where industrial robots have killed people. Accidents with machines can happen in so many industries. If the machine is wrong in 0.2% of cases, that's a risk that can be calculated. If its rate of misdiagnoses is equal to the rate of a human expert, then replacing non-experts with it will improve patient experience. Of course, there might be super experts whose patients would be worse off if they were treated by an AI.
