Did anyone suggest robots do ultrasounds? Who is simplifying it? Having literally just done one: the tech came in, basically said nothing and took a bunch of pictures and then Doc came in and interpreted the results.

People are suggesting that AI interprets the images, which is a fundamental misunderstanding of the process, because the tech is making choices while taking the pictures of what the images should be of. You can't wait until the pictures are taken and given to the rad before the interpretation can begin, it has to be happening during the whole process. The question then is what is the place of the AI in that process? What is it automating?
