I see no existential, ethical, or legal problems with this. /SARCASM

If it can qualify as a practitioner, it should qualify fully as a practitioner, either as a physician who's qualified to practice medicine or a nurse practitioner the same way.

Pragmatically I could see an AI performing as well as pharmacists who have limited prescription ability. However it would require a lot more holistic human interaction, which again gets into confidentiality and data privacy.

I’m not 100% against this. Sure it is a risk some might not be willing to make - but if I can take a strept test on my own and goto a robot and get my antibiotics at 12:30 am on a Sunday and it doesn’t cost me $150 office visit -sign me up. Most of the time docs just give a test and prescribe a pill. I can do it. They aren’t hard tests - usually 3 steps. Just make the tests available over the counter!!!
