Medicine involves many risks, benefits, and tradeoffs. Early diagnosis, for example, can certainly be defended and promoted on a right-to-know basis. But that is not the same thing as saying that it reliably improves outcomes or even enjoyment of life.

Getting the most from AI will include determining the relationship between what it can potentially do and what will provide a medical benefit.
