You just need a robot that's 80% as good as a radiologist. That means you don't have to pay the bottom 80% of radiologists anymore.

I don't think it's about costs here. No hospital in their right mind would trust an AI completely to not have to pay for a radiologist. It's more about augmenting their work.
