This transference of much to AI or computer algorithms has already been in the making and more and more doctors have already been using AI for diagnoses. But studies have shown that such computer are 60% completely wrong. The other 40%are sometimes not completely accurate.

As a person who was misdiagnosed for 12 years (really lifetime because what felled me was a genetic malformation) until my body lost its strength and I had lost my vision, I am well aware that there is already been an over-reliance on blood tests that don't really detect things like celiac which I was suffering from. The basic problem is that these parameters and testing results, analyzed by computers don't take into conjunction other factors and computers are really terrible at taking multiple symptoms into account that might not correlate to one-on-one computer analysis.

so turning it over to computers for even further "algorithmic " detection of fraud will indeed confuse the whole system of fraud detection by making it even further impossible to detect the wider systemic approach to the whole body.

Very good article in explaining the broad picture of medicine to come. However I am of the mind that perhaps we were already heading in that direction.

Yes, you are so right, it is unfortunate that we as humans cannot recognize how wrong we are on so many occasions, and surrendering to a computer algorithm built upon this wrongness will not save us. Thank you for your thoughts. I think the misdiagnosing is an issue that does not receive the needed attention in our country we are moving so fast that we cannot slow down enough to care about what really matters. Much care sent your way I appreciate your efforts and look forward to reading your views.
