Do you realize your argument is basically the same argument people used to make about calculators? That they were evil and should never be used because they make kids stupid and how will their brains develop and yap yap yap.

There is a scenario where doctors are AIDED by AI tools and save more lives. You outright reject this on the edge case that they loose that tool and have to * checks notes * do what they do right now. How does that even make sense?

Going by that past example, this is how it'll go: you'll keep bitching and moaning that it's useless and evil up until your dying breath, an old generation that will never embrace the new tech, while the world around you moves on and figures out out how to best take advantage of it. We're at the stage where it's capabilities are overhyped and oversold, as it always happens when something is new, and eventually we'll figure out how to best use them and when/where to avoid them.

And fuck patient confidentiality, right?

How is this an AI problem? That's already fucked - 5 million patients data breached, here other 4.5M patients, the massive Brazil one with 250 million patient records, etc etc. The list is endless, as health data increasingly goes online, best you come to terms that it will be unlawfully accessed sooner rather than later, with or without AI.

EDIT to add: on your case of network outages, do you know what happens right now when there's a network outage at a hospital? It already stops working - you can't admit patients, you don't have access to their history or exams, basically can't prescribe anything, can't process payments. Being unable to access AI tools is the least of the concerns.
