And I expect AI-empowered medical jobs to be heavily regulated, such that the extraction of personalized results will have to comply closely with formal processes and strictures, thereby slowing and complicating their adoption.
It's possible that using AI to tune therapy techniques will thrive, like pacemakers and blood glucose monitoring. But diagnosis will take considerably longer to catch on, since the responsible party for making medical decisions can't be mere software.
I work at a pharma, and from what I've seen, the use of clinical data is often complicated and unrewarding unless your question is very precise and worth the extra cost/effort that all that regulation requires. Asking or acting on more general questions like those amenable to AI would be infeasable due to all the constraints against gathering a sufficiently critical mass of general personal data.
