The only way AI could lead to better outcomes would be if it was used alongside existing systems: in other words, if those in charge of funding healthcare were willing to pay for an expensive doctor AND an expensive AI checker. And if you believe that's what they'll do, I have a bridge to sell you.

As someone who lives in a country with free healthcare, socialised medicine won't fully solve the tendency to cut costs at the expense of our health. Is it better than the alternative? Absolutely! But in a capitalist society, governments aren't immune to market pressures.

Based on my experience of 3D mammography what will happen is your insurance will cover the cheapest check and you’ll be offered a chance to get the more expensive one for some out of pocket expense.

Are there legal requirements on how a patient is cared for? Could there be a requirement that, where available, AI was used to aid in diagnosis? Did people resist x-rays, or whatever, because the old ways were somehow better? Do doctors rely on any existing tech? Does that make them less effective?
