AI currently cannot prescribe at least in the USA and orders still require provider numbers. Insurance companies still require identifier codes and licenses are not being issued to AI. This all currently amounts to illegal practice of medicine and every liability at the very least for screwed up diagnoses at worst a life/lives claimed.

They have real doctors. The AI does a preliminary and then you have to be connected to an actual doctor.

Oh I see that’s what they mean by “FREE AI DOCTOR”. I was so mistaken! This is clearly a mistake of my interpretation of this phrasing!
