Will Artificial Intelligence Replace Your Family Doctor

Actually, I think this article from the Huffington Post makes some sense.  I'm generally not a big fan of GP's, personally.  So much of what they do just seems kind of, you know, robotic.

I know there are those who will say that changes like this will put conventional doctors out of business.  Sorry, I don't buy it.  There will ALWAYS be need for human judgment in medicine and every other major industry.  Those with good judgment, and who adapt to the times, will always succeed.

And besides, think of the support structures necessary to design and engineer these robots.

We're not replacing doctors, we're just elevating their games.  Agree?  Disagree?
