I am sure they dream of AI diagnosis. It can be optimized for profit and any negative effects can be blamed on the AI.

It's more the other way around, at least in a US context. Concern of the impact of AI/physician disagreement is a problem from a malpractice point of view. Physicians in the US have a huge amount of professional leeway - hence the expansion of off-label use - but this is counterbalanced by a large amount of professional responsibility/liability.
