You see it everywhere with AI and other tools. We overly trust them. Even when doctors have a high confidence in their diagnosis, they accept wrong AI-recommended conclusion that contradicts it.

Bit like with self driving cars - if it's not perfect we don't know how to integrate it with people

That's interesting. I can imagine in cases like this it's not necessarily that the doctor doubts their own diagnosis, but rather the AI is essentially offering to relieve them of responsibility for it either way.

It's like in human hierarchies - it's often not the person who is more likely to make the best decision who gets to decide, it's the one who is going to bear the consequences of being wrong.
