Definitely, here’s hoping the accountability question will prevent that, but the incentive is there, especially in systems with for-profit healthcare.

Also if it’s integrated poorly. Like if you have the human only serve as a secondary check to the AI, which is mostly right, you condition the human to just click through and defer to the AI. The better way to do this would be to have both the human and AI judge things independently and review carefully where they disagree but that won’t save anyone money.

if the court system allowed deferring partial fault for “preventable” deaths to the hospital for employing practices that are not in the best interests of the patient it might give them a financial incentive.
