Artificial Intelligence as Medical Care Providers

Doctors are human. They have egos, insecurities, limited patience, limited capacity, limited energy, limited cognitive abilities, limited experience.

Their decisions are biased by earlier decisions and past successes/failures, even if unrelated. Machines don’t suffer these shortcomings.
