15. You've got to think the lawsuits will make them rethink this

Malpractice is malpractice, isn't it? So is AI REALLY cheaper than humans with brains and experience? I'd guess not, but you've gotta think it will eventually come down to profit and loss in the end.

The lawsuits are an assumption, of course, but I would definitely sue the living shit out of a hospital that killed a loved one through their use of AI.

Ugh, just realized insurance companies will certainly weigh in on this too. They could make you sign away your right to sue for a lower (i.e., affordable) cost or something.

We need laws to cover this and we're not going to get them with the current Congress and administration. At least that much I'm sure of.
