i'm sorry, but AIs only "know" about stuff that they have been trained on.

If we would allow AIs to be trained on the petabytes of medical data hidden in hospital systems, they would most likely be much better at diagnosing illnesses and conditions than the average doctor.

(Justifiable) Privacy around medical records so far prevents this.

You think you're cheering for humans, but in fact you are gatekeeping healthcare.

I dunno... if we gave an AI all of these medical records as training data, wouldn't it be trained to give the same answers as the doctors already gave, without knowing whether those diagnoses were correct or not?

Except it would see all the times similar starting conditions led to different diagnosis and recognize those contradictions. Or all the different treatments and their outcomes. And it would never forget or have bias.

It would be like the sum of all medical professors in existence.
