An AI algorithm can't really gather a detailed patient history or make subjective observations about the patient's state
Chat bots can handle data collection, “subjective” patient state can be collected through image recognition and tone analysis. Not sure you need AGI to accomplish either of these tasks.
There have been clinical decision support systems around for years which can recommend a diagnosis given complete and accurate clinical data. The real problem is gathering that data, and putting it in a form that the algorithm can use. An AI algorithm can't really gather a detailed patient history or make subjective observations about the patient's state. Those are steps which can't really be automated without strong AGI. In theory a doctor could do all the necessary data entry but in practice it would usually be a waste of time and no one wants to pay for it.
