This is what AI should be used for. Not the generative crap ChatGPT peddles.

AI is perfect for applications looking at tons of different variables for specific patterns and are capable of being trained on new data cheaper than training every doctor in the country.

A doctor's first and primary goal is keeping a patient alive. Second is to normalize quality of life. Third is to minimize suffering when possible.

There is a HUGE and artificial shortage of doctors and healthcare providers in this country, and largely the world. They honestly don't have enough time to review every patient record, symptoms, and make a diagnosis and treatment plan, THEN do their continuing education and licensing requirements, AND do any research if they are mandated to do so by their employer, AND if they are at a teaching hospital - teach.

These AI tools can look at an entire medical record, symptoms, laboratory results, and pathology images and make a very accurate diagnosis that is always run by a physician before making a determination. AI doesn't forget what it's learned either.
