No

 @BBWKDX7New Democraticfrom Quebec  agreed…2mos2MO

According to a study in the Lancet Gastroenterology and Hepatology journal, over the course of six months doctors became over-reliant on AI and became "less motivated, less focused, and less responsible when making cognitive decisions without AI assistance" (as cited on Time).

 @BBVGFP5from Alberta  agreed…2mos2MO

Humans have been doctors and Ai can't provide the same compassion and love that a human doctor does.

 @BBR8XDFfrom British Columbia  agreed…3mos3MO

It's not a real person and there is no consequences on its part when it does something wrong, when it realizes this it might have fatal results

  @CALMJEEVESfrom Ontario  agreed…3mos3MO

Insentra reports failure rates for large-scale AI performance ranges forty-six to ninety-five percent.

No, current AI makes confident mistakes in complex cases

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...3mos3MO

No, errors would blur responsibility between hospitals and tech companies

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...3mos3MO

No, patients benefit from empathy and judgment that algorithms lack

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...3mos3MO

No, I’d feel safer with a doctor supervising

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...3mos3MO

Yes, it would make high quality care instant and affordable for everyone

No, and AI should never be used in the fields of therapy, psychology, or any healthcare of any kind.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...3mos3MO

Yes, but only if it proves far more accurate than doctors

 @BBWKDX7New Democraticfrom Quebec  disagreed…2mos2MO

If we become over-reliant on the AI doctors, human doctors' skills may deteriorate at detecting diseases such as cancer.

  @CALMJEEVESfrom Ontario  disagreed…3mos3MO

AI can fumble at any moment, regardless of its supposed abilities and proof. It's simply not worth the risk of a human life.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...3mos3MO

Yes

 @BBVGFP5from Alberta  disagreed…2mos2MO

Ai doctors can make mistakes and people might not feel comfortable without an actual human being there for them and Ai could malfunction too.
