Do you know that the third leading cause of death in the united states is medical errors!!! There are studies that showed that algorithms are better than doctors in diagnosing medical conditions, at least for some of them. Some of them are implemented in hospitals, like for new born babies. There is an algorithm whose outcome shows if the newborn is healthy or not. And it works perfectly. Humans decisions are restricted by their emotions and with their limited brain energy. Algorithms have unlimited power and can detect things that humans cannot and they are not biased. It is controversial of course because algorithms are emotionless and jeopardize the business of doctors, but I think it's a view of point that is worth considering by the medical community if they care about patients and not about their business only.
