Then technicians will just put whatever diagnosis in the relevant text field and let the "AI" do their job (if the "AI" is deemed good enough). I've been working in healthcare for 15 years, and I don't have a single doubt that that's what would happen. Conversely, if the "AI" is deemed not good enough, it will be business as usual and nobody will so much as glance at the "AI" results.

My idea was:

1. Technician writes down their diagnosis

2. They submit it to the system

3. AI comes with its own analysis

4. Technician sees the outcome, they can update their assessment

5. Everything is saved into the system

If one of technicians has too much errors in their initial assessments, it should raise a concern.

Will result in exactly what I described above.

People will refuse AI oversight if there are associated sanctions. People will make every effort to game the system. Following that, you'll be left with:

a. Pay techs more, so they accept the new working conditions.

b. Fire all techs and make do with a (potentially suboptimal) AI system.

Yes, this is very much gate keeping at work.
