Pali Hungin: ‘We can’t replace doctors with technology alone’ In the face of AI and genomics, the head of a project looking at medics’ future says their role must adapt but will remain vital

Meanwhile, technology, artificial intelligence, and other new sciences, such as genomics, are altering medicine fast. The Guardian
