Just wait until one of the clinicians tries to disagree with the AI and they get fired by a hospital administrator who trusts the technology more than the people. 
Don't worry, it won't ever get that far... Insurance AI would have denied the imaging request.
I would laugh if only this wasn't a terrifying plausibility. Imagine you have pneumonia and need a chest x-ray to confirm that was denied because you were out of network. Imagine there is no recourse because all customer service has been outsourcedto a very friendly chat bot who will kindly tell you 'DENIED' after arguing with it for 30 minutes.
