>When were you when doctors were replaced?

When these results can be reproduced reliably across the whole variety of diseases. It's not that easy.

>Until a computer can be held liable for malpractice

This is nonsense. Nobody will convict a doctor of malpractice if it was a difficult call to make. Same goes for machines.

Of course, you're still right though. This is just a proof of concept and it still has a way to go. But it's getting there.

Deepmind is trying to solve intelligence. Making AGI in effect. Their's a ton of applications and one of them is medical questions too (eye stuff).

IBM's Watson seems different to me. It's definitely not what you implied it was or was even designed to be. It's just a very smart Q and A machine. Pretty boring to me.

They are both very different projects.

So as I wrote, it's not what the first guy implied. Watson can diagnose and do other things, but it has no aim to be genral in the sense of doing chess etcetera.

Deepmind is much more exciting.

Yes, the legal definition if malpractice requires a deviation from the standard of care. A computer could easily be designed to not violate the standard of care.

I am thriled, lots of people die and suffer becouse real doctors sometimes can just dont know about illness or what to do with it, which is perfectly normal becouse a human cant know everything. He probably never heard of this stuff. But AI with universal database WILL know everything humanity ever witnessed, and probably can even cure something humanity NEVER witnessed, couse he will find some pattern, people wont be able to notice.

Thats just... like dream. I hope we dont fuck this up.

Well, you dont need more that a very smart Q and A machine to replace normal doctors. Its great just by itself.

You're right, but I prefer a machine that can be a doctor play chess, be a pleasure machine and everyhting else.
Watson isn't that and deepmind is trying to do that.
It's just weird that thought about sexbots when watson has nothing to do with general intelligence or sex.

>deepmind is trying to do that.
>a machine that can be a doctor play chess, be a pleasure machine and everyhting else.
No.

Yes.

I can't wait for this future.

This is not about original published scientific work being replaced. This type of thinking and work will take a very long time to be replaced. This is about some doctors doing a job (diagnostics) that is dependent on memorising diseases and checking for symptoms and underlying causes, some cases of which can be vastly accelerated or accomplished only by computers, as demonstrated by this example.

I know, thats much better, but we will have Q and A doctor machine soon-ish.
Strong AI on the other hand...

This is why I dropped medicine

There's no stopping this

For fuck's sake Google, you do all this cool shit and then pull a stunt like this....

>Until a computer can be held liable for malpractice

Then just sue the ass of the hospital using the AI, the company that develops the AI, the company that sells the AI, really anyone at any point coming into contact with the AI can become liable for being sued into oblivion.

a computer doesn't commit malpractice, user

This is not within our lifetimes. such AI would only be in advisory roles. Much like the pilots in planes, with an auto-pilot which can essentially do all the work.

I can't wait until computer start taking high IQ jobs like doctors and lawyers.

>Watson was the one that played Jeopardy
Watson that diagnosed cancer has pretty much nothing to do with Watson that played Jeopardy. It's an umbrella term IBM uses for everything vaguely related to machine intelligence.
