Week 4 [3-9.12.18], How Machine Learning Is Changing the World and Your Everyday Life

Hi everyone!
Today I want to show you summary changes which would be made when machine learning go further. The article shows how AI could automate a large portion of skilled labor.

https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/312016

Here is some question:
1)Do you think that AI should be so widely used?

2)Are there professions that can be replaced, but we shouldn't do this? If so, which ones?

3) Do you have an idea how machine learning can be used to make life difficult for us instead of improving it?

4)Do you think that AI with data about disease from all the world could have worse result than doctor with long term experience? "Who" in your opinion will make a better diagnosis?

  1. 1)Do you think that AI should be so widely used?
    Yes I think AI should be so widely used. I would personally eliminate as many jobs as possible, which are based on repeated activities and even displace the brain of people. I think that thanks to this people would be forced to engage in more demanding activities. Do not get me wrong, I want everyone to have a job and have something to live with, but there is a shortage of highly specialized people. the choice of such an easy job is not a good choice and closes the possibility of these people for a better future. At the same time, it is a pity for human life to be so blind and senseless. Let's say the time that is given to us.

    2)Are there professions that can be replaced, but we shouldn't do this? If so, which ones?
    As I wrote above, I think that all actions that are repetitive do not require any thinking, they are automatic should be replaced. Many employees in factories, cashiers, etc. I think that we should do this and raise the bar on the labor market. It may cause natural selection, but it may be better at the end.

    3) Do you have an idea how machine learning can be used to make life difficult for us instead of improving it?
    I think that it will be more difficult for people without more education, because finding a job will require more effort and actually have some knowledge and skills. Probably it will completely change the layout of employees in the industries, and also completely new ones.

    4)Do you think that AI with data about disease from all the world could have worse result than doctor with long term experience? "Who" in your opinion will make a better diagnosis?
    I think it requires many tests. My theory is that the collection of a global database will allow us to perceive many factors affecting a given disease, allow to find potential donors, when the bottom factor is an important factor, in addition, the machine can see more details, which people may not notice.

    1. Thanks for your long and comprehensive answer. I understand your point of view but I don't quite agree with it.
      We shouldn't forget about people who simply have no predisposition to mechanics/electronics and other...in a nutshell-talentless. In your world they have no change to find any work which let him live normally. Moreover some people have situations which forces them to left the school and find any work. That group have no knowledge about anything, but could do (not very well paid) work.
      I know that the Chinese are driving the world to work more and harder or be nobody but it isn's solution for me...everyone should have choice what they want to do and if someone don't want to learn he have possibility to do something other.

  2. 1 Do you think that AI should be so widely used?

    No, I don't think artificial intelligence (AI) should be so widely used. Even in the fairy tales about Santa Claus - now on time - they show how children get spoiled toys from an automatic factory at the North Pole. Of course, this statement is just a hitch. I'm well aware that vending machines will do more than one task better than people.

    2 Are there professions that can be replaced, but we shouldn't do this? If so, which ones?

    I think so. Psychologist, President, Speaker of the Sejm or Senate. All those positions that require a conception, not a dry analysis of facts and calculations for or against, shouldn't be replaced by artificial intelligence. However, human have something. Some will say that the minds of others are souls and others that humanity.

    3 Do you have an idea how machine learning can be used to make life difficult for us instead of improving it?

    Life can be difficult for yourself at every step and at any moment. We don't need artificial intelligence for this. Let's assume that the machines will do what is on the Terminator movie. They led to the end of the world there! Are we really going this way? Do we necessarily need to employ artificial intelligence?

    4 Do you think that AI with data about disease from all the world could have worse result than doctor with long term experience? "Who" in your opinion will make a better diagnosis?

    In my opinion, of course, that a human will make a better diagnosis. The machine, as I wrote earlier, will only do a dry analysis of the facts. And you know perfectly well that a small red pimple on the tip of the nose, which the machine may have missed, may change the diagnosis.
    Of course, if it was a guarantee of introducing 100% of symptoms to the computer, the machine will develop a glass diagnosis. Only people aren't able to give 100% of the symptoms of the disease they have. You know that very well!

      In second answer I think that film "Terminator" isn't the best example of AI. I don't really mind why people think about AI in this way. Why AI would start a rebellion?

  3. Do you think that AI should be so widely used?
    Definitely yes, it will help facilitate the work of many professions. It also helps to develop science. Unfortunately - some professions will be under threat, but I think the human will

    Are there professions that can be replaced, but we shouldn't do this? If so, which ones?
    I think this will replace many professions. Also, reduce the number of employees required. Of course, this will cause resentment among many people that they will lose their jobs. But on the other hand, it will entail natural selection, and will force people to develop more.

    Do you have an idea how machine learning can be used to make life difficult for us instead of improving it?
    Well, I think it will be so - for example, technologies will facilitate the work of programmers, companies will need fewer programmers, many will be fired.

    Do you think that AI with data about disease from all the world could have worse result than doctor with long term experience? "Who" in your opinion will make a better diagnosis?
    I think that the diagnosis and treatment that the AI will provide - must be agreed with the doctor.

  4. 1)Do you think that AI should be so widely used?
    Of course, if the artificial intelligence in a given field gives good results, I see no reason not to use it. But we have to be careful not to abuse it and not to push it where it does not work, just to follow the trends.

    2)Are there professions that can be replaced, but we shouldn't do this? If so, which ones?
    We should not rely entirely on artificial intelligence in medicine. It should only be a guideline, but everything should always be supervised by an educated doctor.

    3) Do you have an idea how machine learning can be used to make life difficult for us instead of improving it?
    Artificial intelligence can replace man in some areas. This can lead to increased unemployment. There are also many ethical and existential questions, as in the case of autonomous cars and their behaviour towards people.

    4)Do you think that AI with data about disease from all the world could have worse result than doctor with long term experience? "Who" in your opinion will make a better diagnosis?
    Artificial intelligence with such data may be an invaluable source of information, but, as I have already mentioned, it must always be watched over by a human being. In the case of medicine, where the life and health of people really depend on our decisions, we cannot fully trust only the data generated by the computer.

  5. 1)Do you think that AI should be so widely used?
    Yes, for sure it should be used widely. In my opinion the future belongs to AI. After all, AI was created to facilitate our lives, so let's develop it and use it.

    2)Are there professions that can be replaced, but we shouldn't do this? If so, which ones?
    This problem appeared as soon as the first robots were created – depriving people of work. In my opinion, every profession can be replaced to a large extent, but it will definitely be necessary for the final control of people over this (for example car production lines, teaching or analysing medical data robots).

    3) Do you have an idea how machine learning can be used to make life difficult for us instead of improving it?
    This idea contradicts the basic assumption for which AI has been created. Nonetheless, it may come true. I see few possibilities: competition with people for jobs, making crucial decisions instead of humanity or superintelligence, which will be hard to stop. Some IT visionaries, such as Bill Gates, warn us of such an extreme situation.

    4)Do you think that AI with data about disease from all the world could have worse result than doctor with long term experience? "Who" in your opinion will make a better diagnosis?
    I don’t know – I really don’t like prediction. Personally I believe that AI will support doctors significantly but will not replace them. Of course human being will make better diagnosis because only a human can have a holistic approach to the problem.

  6. 1)Do you think that AI should be so widely used?
    I think we should not limit the buisness, with exeption of some immoral behaviour. If it helps doing work better and faster then why not to use it?

    2)Are there professions that can be replaced, but we shouldn't do this? If so, which ones?
    I think that almost every proffesion may be replaced by AI in a future. There are two types of proffesions that we wnon't benefit from replacement of those. First type is every job that involves contact with people, for example teacher. We can create online classes powered by AI to motivate students but I think that good teacher motivate studnets more, knows students behaviour and understand them. I think that people learn faster when they have contact with a real human. Second type is every job that requires creativity for example scientist or artist. I cannot imagine how to replace scientist with AI. We can try to create some kind of art using AI but is it the same as when people do? I think that every peace of art is better when the artist have some reason, concept and knows the meaning of this art. Then it is unique.

    3) Do you have an idea how machine learning can be used to make life difficult for us instead of improving it?
    It can be used for advertisment to influence our behaviour. It can be used to manipulate people in other aspects.


    4)Do you think that AI with data about disease from all the world could have worse result than doctor with long term experience? "Who" in your opinion will make a better diagnosis?
    I think that a good doctor can make better diagnosis. For sure he may notice sympthoms that were unique for this desease and make bettter decision. But I think that AI that helps doctor to make diagnosis is good idea but they should tret is as addritional information not to rely only on that.

  7. 1)Do you think that AI should be so widely used?

    Yes, I am a great supporter of AI and in my proffesional work I am supporting different companies in implementation of AI. Generally AI solution tent to be more precise and quicker comparing to humans and this is a great benefit of AI solutions for whole economy.

    2)Are there professions that can be replaced, but we shouldn't do this? If so, which ones?

    I prefer to do not let AI replace people in R&D and in creating AI, becouse this could be scarry and sound a litle like Skynet from Terminator :)

    3) Do you have an idea how machine learning can be used to make life difficult for us instead of improving it?

    AI is more precise comparing to humans and usually needs a lot more data to make best decission, so sometimes it will mean, that we will need to answer more quesions and generally give more information and this part sometimes could be frustrating.

    4)Do you think that AI with data about disease from all the world could have worse result than doctor with long term experience? "Who" in your opinion will make a better diagnosis?

    Generally in well known diseasess I am almost sure, that AI trained on sufficent amount of data will easily beat event most experience doctors. I think current AI could be worse only in totally new diseases as in this case it is more a matter of improvisation and this still is a strong point of humans.

  8. 1. Do you think that AI should be so widely used?
    Yes, I think it should be, and in fact is already implemented in various area of our lives while not all of us are aware of it. For example, all the recommendation you see at Netflix, Amazon or Google are made by AI, also face recognition algorithm you use to tag your friends on Facebook is AI based.

    2. Are there professions that can be replaced, but we shouldn't do this? If so, which ones?
    In my opinion there are a lot of professions where we can use machines driven by AI instead of people. All the jobs with repeatable operation, those with highest accident rate, or performed in environment that is danger for human. It doesn’t mean that people will lost their job and their livelihood. It means they will be able to do other jobs, more creative and safer.

    3. Do you have an idea how machine learning can be used to make life difficult for us instead of improving it?
    Machine Learning algorithms are as good as the ones who create them. In respect to this I think that there is a possibility where people will create that kind of machine / algorithms. But the fault will be on human side not the machine.

    4. Do you think that AI with data about disease from all the world could have worse result than doctor with long term experience? "Who" in your opinion will make a better diagnosis?
    In my opinion it’s depends on how good the algorithm could be. If we could create algorithm that can be compare with the knowledge of million of doctors based on information from patients from all over the world, along with the results of their treatment from statistical point of view it will be better than one experienced doctor.

  9. Do you think that AI should be so widely used?
    We are far away from reaching sentient general artificial intelligence. Machine learning models should be used as wide as possible.


    Are there professions that can be replaced, but we shouldn't do this? If so, which ones?
    In my opinion if specific task can be automated, it should be automated. Going a little broader if specific profession is about doing only tasks that can be automated efficiently this profession should be replaced with machine learning model.


    Do you have an idea how machine learning can be used to make life difficult for us instead of improving it?
    Yes, model can be used not only for good reason but as well for such things as military,finding cyber security vulnerabilities and other not useful.


    Do you think that AI with data about disease from all the world could have worse result than doctor with long term experience? "Who" in your opinion will make a better diagnosis?
    Efficiency of the model is always correlated with quality of the data. So in simple words if training data will be sufficient enough then machine learning model can perform better than experienced doctor.

  10. AI should be used everywhere it can automate a given task without considerable loss in the accuracy or other performance metric.

    I can't think of any professions that could be replaced by AI, but shouldn't (from the practical point of view). Or maybe helpdesk consultants? I think that some companies have policies that make their help support similar to what you might expect from the cold heart robot, but still there is a light of hope when you're talking with real human rather than a chatbot. So replacing all consultants with AI would definitely make our lives worse.

    AI can make better diagnoses for some kinds of data and diseases.

  11. Do you think that AI should be so widely used?
    Yes because AI research uses tools and insights from many fields, including computer science, psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, cognitive science, linguistics, operations research, economics,control theory, probability, optimization and logic. AI research also overlaps with tasks such as robotics, control systems, scheduling, data mining, logistics, speech recognition, facial recognition and many others. It is thought that the human brain uses multiple techniques to both formulate and cross-check results. Thus, systems integration is seen as promising and perhaps necessary for true AI, especially the integration of symbolic and connectionist models.

    In an industry built on trust and human relationships, machine learning still lacks a risk-management framework that explains it and bounds its behaviour. Once this is addressed, it will be disruptive

  14. 1. Do you think that AI should be so widely used?

    I think that AI is a great tool to make our life better but we need to use it carefully. AI can be dangerous. A few month ago I mentioned about two AI talking together. They have learned fast and used new words that human couldn’t understand.

    2. Are there professions that can be replaced, but we shouldn't do this? If so, which ones?

    It’s a very good question. I don't know. Maybe in this professions that are critical to our live and wrong decision could cost us our live eg. doctor

    3. Do you have an idea how machine learning can be used to make life difficult for us instead of improving it?

    AI need many data to learn and make decisions. Sometimes we need to make an irracional decision to avoid potentialy risk becouse we feel it and we know it that this decison is good. AI can’t predict every event that would be better to make in this moment.

    4. Do you think that AI with data about disease from all the world could have worse result than doctor with long term experience? "Who" in your opinion will make a better diagnosis?

    I think AI should suport doctor to make a good diagnosis. Sometimes AI can make wrong decision because it need many data to analyze it. A doctor with long term experience has this advantage that it can ask a additional unconventional question to patient and then make a decision. There are many sympoms that are similar to a few disases.

  15. 1. Everything has its pros and cons. Artificial intelligence is very helpful in many areas of life, but we must always remember that it is created by people, so it can fail on certain issues. Poorly trained artificial intelligence can be more harmful than helpful. And of course you can not apply artificial intelligence everywhere, despite the willingness of scientists.

    2. The first to come to my mind are occupations in which it is important to work with other people, eg doctors, scientists, teachers. Artificial intelligence could replace people in these professions, but I can not imagine how it would relay informations with empathy. Personally, I prefer when a teacher or a physician approach each of us individually and establish a kind of bond and trust, not a dry one that gives us the information we need.

    3. Artificial intelligence needs huge sets of data to teach correct behaviors. If a robot equipped with artificial intelligence would need a lot of information from us, for example how we feel, what is wrong at this moment to help us, it could be terribly frustrating and tiring.
    In addition, in my opinion, all bots used on community portals (which are equipped with artificial intelligence modules) such as twitter or reddit are used to spam us with unnecessary data more than to facilitate the use of these portals.

    4. I have seen many mentions that well-trained artificial intelligence can diagnose diseases with almost one hundred percent accuracy. However, always the result obtained by artificial intelligence should be checked by an experienced doctor, because an error can always get through. Doctors, however, have more experience, especially with unusual medical cases.

  16. 1. Do you think that AI should be so widely used?
    I think AI is not used widely enough yet. It is relatively easy to apply AI "on the internet" and then in neighboring areas. Jumping to purely physical, analogue and paper world requires much more work.

    2. Are there professions that can be replaced, but we shouldn't do this? If so, which ones?
    I don't know... On one hand, all those textile sweatshops, but on the other - whole villages make living by working there. All those drivers - accidents and work for lots of people or autonomous and safe transportation? It's impossible to decide.

    3. Do you have an idea how machine learning can be used to make life difficult for us instead of improving it?
    Machine learning used by medical insurance companies can create whole class of people that has no chance to get insured. It can even be baseless - caused by some error in data cleaning or processing.

    4. Do you think that AI with data about disease from all the world could have worse result than doctor with long term experience? "Who" in your opinion will make a better diagnosis?
    In the end, AI will be better. Of course there will be cases when human doctor would be right and AI will be wrong, but statistically it'll beat even our best diagnostics.

  17. 1)Do you think that AI should be so widely used?

    I think that AI will be widely applied in the future but I do not know the exact extent it is going to be used to. In the article it was mentioned that Google, Amazon, Netflix or other online platforms use AI e.g. for making predictions about users. The huge amount of data is gathered every day cannot be analyzed without AI. Certainly, some of jobs will disappear and they will be replaced by other new jobs. The jobs where people perform simple and repeatable activities which do not require thinking will be automatized by using AI machines. The people will be always needed because only human can solve creative and nontrivial tasks. I do not know what new jobs will appear for people without predispositions of scientific work.

    2)Are there professions that can be replaced, but we shouldn't do this? If so, which ones?

    In my opinion all of professions which are based on simple and repeatable activities which do not require thinking should be replaced by AI. As I wrote, there are professions where the human is irreplaceable. To my mind, we should not replace the professions like teacher or lawyer. These professions can use the AI but the human is an essential part of the performing such jobs.

    3) Do you have an idea how machine learning can be used to make life difficult for us instead of improving it?

    The machine learning is becoming the part of our life. It could improve our life making it easier but there are cases where AI is able to make our life difficult. The AI technology may be difficult for older people. Some of them have problem with using computer so they may have a problem with living on an intelligent home where machine learning methods are widely applied. The interaction between people may be replaced by interaction between human and AI robots in far future and I think that our generation do not have to be concerned with this problem.


    4)Do you think that AI with data about disease from all the world could have worse result than doctor with long term experience? "Who" in your opinion will make a better diagnosis?

    It is hard to say who is able to make a better diagnosis the doctor with term experience or AI with data. On the one hand, the doctor has an experience and has a powerful medical knowledge not only about the disease which he/she diagnoses. The doctor can combine the knowledge with his/her experience in contrast to AI machines which are based only on AI datasets. On the other hand the doctor is the human and there is the human factor like emotions and personal problems which can have an influence in his/her work. The accuracy of AI machines is known, the question is what the accuracy of human is?

  18. 1)Do you think that AI should be so widely used?

    To be honest, I don't quite agree with the previous speakers that AI should be used as widely as possible. All of you have higher education and want to learn new things, develop, demand more and more from yourselves, but there are plenty of people which do not have this urge. They like their boring, stable, repetitive jobs. They like their non-demanding lives. They do not want to learn and the only thing they want is to be left in peace. AI would take over their posts, responsibilities and they would have to learn new skills, change qualifications and what if they weren't happy about it, what if they weren't capable of such a change?

    2)Are there professions that can be replaced, but we shouldn't do this? If so, which ones?

    For example proffessions which require artistic skills, touch of individuality etc.

    3) Do you have an idea how machine learning can be used to make life difficult for us instead of improving it?

    I've never thought about this topic in such a way, so nothing comes to my mind.

    4)Do you think that AI with data about disease from all the world could have worse result than doctor with long term experience? "Who" in your opinion will make a better diagnosis?

    Being a doctor is not limited to having knowledge of diseases and their symptoms, it requires certain level of intuition and holistic approach to human body and mind, and those things, in my opinion, cannot be learnt by a machine.

  19. Artificial intelligence is a fascinating subject indeed. From my perspective, we have to distinguish at least a subset of AI that should bother us, which is so-called "Strong AI", mentioned recently by Ewelina. AI is right now being used widely, as article presents, and we could not help that, and the only thing that we should worry about would be level of skill that programmers had during a coding task. I think that automatisation of some jobs leads to achieving repetatively results that are more robust than the results provided by human beings. We, as humans, are dependent on multiple psychological factors that could lead to errors, such as exhaustion or low blood sugar level. However, when we take under consideration learning algorithms, we could see that sometimes they are getting "not-so-smart" because they are falling into local minimal when coded into the old-fashioned way and they started to be irrational. From the other hand, local minima in deep learning problems have changed in the sense that they are now regarded as less problematic because in high-dimensional spaces (encountered in deep learning) critical points are more likely to be saddle points or plateaus rather than local minima (as Andrew Ng said), but that generates black-boxes that are not trivial to denote. So, from my perspective, it is crucial to know precisely what we are dealing with when we are creating (especially) systems that are depended on humans live. To achieve, we need to extend our knowledge and responsibility with the methods that show us how our model would behave in certain situations. Interesting black-box revealer could be DALEX project: Descriptive mAchine Learning EXplanations which is a set of tools that help to understand how complex models are working.

  20. 1)Do you think that AI should be so widely used?

    I think it isn't even used widely enough, but everything should be done with common sense. There is much hype currently and not many experienced decision makers, who understand all the possible ramifications.

    2)Are there professions that can be replaced, but we shouldn't do this? If so, which ones?

    I think by this wording it's already clear that the jobs cannot be replaced in full. I mean, a cage is a substitute for a babysitter, but it's not the same quality. Same with jobs - in some cases we can do with some lower quality (vending machine), but some are harder (fitness apps have not made personal trainers redundant).

    3) Do you have an idea how machine learning can be used to make life difficult for us instead of improving it?

    Yes, it can be used e.g. to increase beaurocracy beyond our current imagination. Everything which can be surveilled and monitored will be, and any anomaly would then be investigated. Also, there can be a large financial disaster, when too many people trust AI to do their bidding in the markets.

    4)Do you think that AI with data about disease from all the world could have worse result than doctor with long term experience? "Who" in your opinion will make a better diagnosis?

    This is a too hard question. The "right" decision sometimes does not exists, and sometimes is only clear in hindsight. In case of the doctor, there is still someone to blame (for the family). In case of AI, there will be a dead body, but the therapy was "statistically" correct. Is it any comfort?

  21. 1)Do you think that AI should be so widely used?
    Yes, I think the AI is generally great idea and it should be used as widely as possible. Of course we can not forget about its limitations and we should always consider, if on some field it can effectively replace people, and if not we must guarantee the cooperation between AI and actual human. But otherwise I don’t see reasons to stop using the AI.

    2)Are there professions that can be replaced, but we shouldn't do this? If so, which ones?
    In my opinion there are two main fields, where applying the AI should be extra cautious – it is law and medicine. In case of law, as it was stated in the article, AI may be a really big short cut, but when it comes to the debate during the trial, there is no way that actual lawyers can be successfully replaced by the AI. It also applied to the judges who decide on the verdict. There is no place for the zero – one system in court, and crucial for the verdict are arguments presented by each side. Also intepretations of the regulations must be made in connection with ethical norms and social context. In case of medicine – it is often case of life or death, or at least level of somebody’s health, so not only symptoms must be taken under consideration, but also doctor’s experience, history of the illness, patient’s style of life and many more factors, which can’t be programmed to be considered by AI.

    3) Do you have an idea how machine learning can be used to make life difficult for us instead of improving it?
    For examples there are countries with some authoritharian’s regime. We all know that there is no such thing as true justice and is very common to charge people who are simply not fully comfortable with the authorithies. In the eyes of the rest of the world they shouldn’t meet criminal charges, but it is happening. So often in such cases people who lead the investigation use the machine learning in the form of face recognition – to find alleged criminals when they are on the streets or in the trains etc. And for sure it makes life difficult for such persons instead of improving the standard of life.

    4)Do you think that AI with data about disease from all the world could have worse result than doctor with long term experience? "Who" in your opinion will make a better diagnosis?
    I think that better diagnosis will be made by the experienced doctors. As I said before, it is not only the matter of symptoms and genetic burdens. It must be taken under consideration a lot of other factors – style of life, such as diet and exercises, behaviour of the patient, personal relationships, drugs used, last few hours before the symptoms were revealed and many many more. During programming the AI it simply can not be all predicted, so it is place for actual doctor to feel the hole in the proccess of using the AI.

  22. 1. Do you think that AI should be so widely used?

    In my opinion, AI is very helpful, but to use it, it should be adapted to a specific problem. At the moment there is no a perfect AI, which will be able to do many things with great accuracy and diligence.

    2)Are there professions that can be replaced, but we shouldn't do this? If so, which ones?

    I would definitely prefer AI to not create software for itself. However, we already have many programs with implemented AI that write other algorithms. I think that they are not perfect yet and I would rather not trust AI completely.

    3) Do you have an idea how machine learning can be used to make life difficult for us instead of improving it?

    Of course machine learning is very useful, but I am afraid that it can be used to harm. Even now we are dealing with malware, data theft, and unauthorized access. AI is great for this.

    4)Do you think that AI with data about disease from all the world could have worse result than doctor with long term experience? "Who" in your opinion will make a better diagnosis?

    I think that when it comes to recognizing diseases with typical symptoms, AI can be good. However, a doctor with many years experience would be definitely better because I would trust him. Below is a link with an interesting using of artificial intelligence in medicine:

  23. I think AI should be used as wide as people are able to imagine!
    In my opinion we can replace almost all the professions, because there are not so many activities which in fact couldn’t be copied by AI. I can’t see the limits of such replacements. If we do make condition that users must give their agreement to be a party of such relationship, then ethically everything works well and honest. Maybe we should think over ethical side of replacement very few professions, for example priests…
    I can’t see exact example, how machine learning can make our life more difficult, but generally it may make it even by slowing down the replaced process. Sometimes human can act faster than AI. Taking into consideration also possible omissions or errors while using machine learning, as a result, instead of improving our life, it can make it more difficult. Of course, accelerating is not enough to use AI, but often this is the main reason to do it.
    The question indicated in point 4 seems to be very Interesting issue. For me, always human will do better job. First of all, because of his possibility to interact with the patient, to examine him and treat individually as separate case study. The knowledge gathered from the whole world and history can be useful in many situations, but not adequate in other, but significant ones. I’d rather trust doctor with long term experience.
