The real work of doctors and lawyers is very different from their entrance exams. So it's not a reliable test for their job stability.

There are AI's that have been given patients history and examinations and it came up with more accurate diagnosis then the doctors. Medicine is an art not a science. I dislike it being minimized as if it was something easy to pass. You have to know how medicine works what it does and doesn't interact with, surgery risks and complications, diseases, diagnosis etc. There is a lot a Doctor has to know. Even the grades they need to get in college and medical school are pretty strict.

It's not minimized. It's very difficult to pass those exams. Still , it's a different job.

And yes there are some automated systems that are better at diganosis. They're quite old. Yes they are not deployed. Why is that ?

You have an interesting definition of old. One news story about it from BBC is only two years old.

There are Clinical decision support system much older than that.

So? Neural networks were invented in 1943. The first chatbot was created in 1966. It does not mean that AI has not advanced in knowledge by datamining the internet. AI can be used in harmful ways, AI can be used to create very realistic fake news stories and photos. Creating an AI that is smarter than humans is a really stupid idea if you do not have strong safeguards in place. Respected scientists, researchers and IT techs have warned about AI again and again. IT can and will cause loss of jobs if it isn't curtailed by regulations. Only the foolish jump ahead without thinking of future consequences.

Those system we're reliable and improved standard of care. The doctors just didn't like them.
