I'll repeat my idea on how this MUST be done:

1. AI gets data about the patient and makes a diagnosis. This is NOT shown to doctor yet.

2. Doctor does their stuff, writes down their diagnosis. This diagnosis is locked down and versioned.

3. Doctor sees AI's diagnosis

4. Doctor can adjust their diagnosis, BUT the original stays in the system.

This way the AI stays as the assistant and won't affect the doctor's decision, but they can change their mind after getting the extra data.

5. Private Equity uses this valuable data to stack rank doctors based on how correct / AI-aligned their diagnoses are over time

6. Rankings are used to periodically "trim the fact" thus delivering more optimized cash flows to clinics that have been saddled with toxic debt

7. Sensing an opportunity AI providers start selling a $200 / month Data Leakage as a Service subscription to overworked physicians so that they can avoid the PE guillotine

This still promotes metacognitive laziness later down the road as the doctor can hand in something quickly and rely on AI to close that gap.

5. Doctors delegate everything to AI assistants because humans are lazy, especially if those AI assistants are correct some significant portion of the time
