Though itβs plausible that ML could eventually take on some screening or diagnostic tasks from highly trained radiologists or pathologists, there is the hurdle of accountability that will need to be tackled. As with self-driving technology, the models will have to be good enough to take on the liability risk at scale.

> the hurdle of accountability
The medical field is notorious for delivering "efforts", not results (unlike engineering). No SLA here.

It depends on the specific situation. Screening mammography for instance carries significant financial (and emotional) risk of missing a call that ends up being cancer.

Risk for the radiologist or the patient?

Patient outcome, financially for the radiologist.

Liability will be delegated away from the hospital and onto the service provider, same way they are with diagnostics on clinical lab equipment. Hospitals love to continue to get paid while shouldering less risk.
