They'll just makes it a tool doctors use. The doctor will get your symptoms, and ask relevant questions, feed it to the AI which will spit out a diagnosis, and then the doctor will read off what the AI said.

There will be websites that say things like "this is only for informational purposes, please seek actual medical assistance for an emergency" while walking you through the process of performing great surgery.

It doesn't matter if the diagnosis is delivered by proxy, really. There will be grave errors as a result and the resultant litigation will be literally endless.

Doctors will still bear the brunt of the liability. If it's more effective then there will be less liability to go around, so less malpractice suits than there are today.

Doctors commit grave errors now. They won't switch to AI until it is substantially better than humans .
