Two considerations / food for thought: #1 it is very unlikely that AI in medicine will be fully autonomous. #2 Risk in life is relative. If robot-doctor's risk of hurting patient < human doctor's risk of hurting patient, then we should strongly consider robot doctor even though there is non-zero risk of hurting patient. Same for uber's self-driving car. If self driving car's risk of hurting human < human driver's risk of hurting human, then self-driving car should be strongly considered.
