That’s not what they meant when they said that AIs can be a powerful tool for doctors.
It's exactly what they meant. Replacing people coding things into electronic medical records, automating transcription, and reducing administrative burden is exactly what AI should do. This frees up time for caregivers to actually care and see more patients rather than sitting in front a computer all day.
