Yeah, I was kind of baffled by this - she starts by talking about the problems with automated systems, but when she gets to the part about the medical system she starts with the example of human doctors not listening to their patient. Not to say AI is inherently better than humans in this kind of situation, but it's very strange to make the case that AI in medicine is bad because human doctors have bias.

I expected the article to be about how people misunderstand the difference between knowledge and intelligence. No matter how smart AI is, it can't just magically invent a cure for cancer - it has to gather the knowledge of how things interact and what effects drugs have.

Still, AI does have lots of potential to improve things there. My wife is a Research Associate in a biotech startup, and she could basically be replaced by humanoid robots to run experiments (probably don't even have to go that far - there are cloud labs already) and AI to run analysis. The analysis will be much faster and the robots can work 24/7, so you could really increase throughput of experimentation.
