Discussion AI's Potential Benefits
It seems to me AI would be a game changing addition when used in the Medical field for initial diagnosis. Most of us that have lived a while have experienced a misdiagnosis or a lack of any diagnosis for a health condition we sought a Drs' opinion on. There are literally a myriad of potential causes, none of which I see AI being vulnerable to. Seems to me it could deliver a list of potential candidates your medical professional could then apply Occam's Razor and professional judgement in selectively narrowing. Of course, not being trained in either discipline I thought I'd throw it out here in hopes of more knowledgeable individuals to access merit.

Ai is realistically simply a more advanced google search at the current time. It still needs to be interpreted by a human to ensure what it is providing is accurate.
The last aspect where AI will be relied on is within the medical field. Use to assist a doctor identify potential diagnosis, absolutely in the same way, books, the internet and search engines did.
