If course it will. And it will be much better at seeing the big picture. They may make the connections people are just not able to. I think humans will be involved in the decision making in medicine for a long time to come. But AI will be able to take every little detail into account and reference every published study in a matter of seconds. Humans simply can’t do that, that’s why we have specialists for every aspect of medicine. AI will make connections that humans never even thought of because there simply is too much to know about the human body.

So i am thinking the function of a doctor will remain, as the key orchestrator of the entire process. A person close to me is a medic, and from the stories I'm told it would be I think impossible to replace a human. Especially when a psychological aspects of the interaction affect the entire process, like wiligness to undergo or not a certain tests, try medicine, following up etc.
