"When AIs outperform doctors: confronting the challenges of a tort-induced over-reliance on machine learning"
by Froomkin, A Michael; Kerr, Ian; Pineau, Joelle (2019)
Abstract
Key Passage
If the medical industry seeks to substitute ML for the work of a medical specialty, such as radiology, we would expect that in the short term radiologists' salaries might drop, blunting the economic pressure to eliminate them. But, as we have argued above, in the longer run, demand could shrink to near zero; meanwhile, those medical students whose choice of specialty is influenced by salary will avoid that specialty.
