Can we stop having AI do.. anything?
Algorithms aren't AI. They're standardization measures in cases like this. Hell you don't even need computers for many of them. We use tons in healthcare to classify risk, decide on treatment options, and even decide on how much medication to give. They're particularly present in psychiatric care.
