Abstract

Someday, perhaps sooner,'perhaps later, 2 machines will have demonstrably better success rates at medical diagnosis than human physicians-at least in particular medical specialties. 3 We can reasonably expect that machine-learning-based diagnostic competence, which we will sometimes call" A" for short, will only increase. It is thus appropriate to consider what the dominance of machine-based diagnostics might mean for medical malpractice law, the future of medical service provision, the demand for certain kinds of physicians, and-in the …
