Assume if you know for certain that AI has better senstivity and specificity than your local physician for the particular diagnosis, which likely would be the case now or in few years. Would you purposefully get inferior consultation just because of Hippocatic oath?

Doctors will apply AI sooner than patient, and they can check these results with confidence.

I said better sensitivity and specificity. Not better accuracy.

I agree. I think this is some sort of excuse to not use AI because of some vague metaphysical reason like liability.
