AI to ‘takeover NHS’ with robodocs making human medics obsolete
The NHS will be run by AI robots and doctors will become obsolete, it's claimed.
A report by healthcare platform Florence revealed 95% of workers in the healthcare industry believe bots will be working alongside them by 2035.
And almost half expect medical professionals to be extinct by 2098 due to the new tech.

Tracey Follows, of Futuremade, a consultancy company which worked with Florence on the report, said: "What is clear is that AI is going to impact every industry, and the top skill we need to develop, as humans, is how to work alongside non-humans.
"Looking ahead, it is clear that nurses will have AI as their co-pilot to help inform, analyse, diagnose and advise patients.
"It will free nurses up and allow them to focus even more on the human in front of them."
It comes after the Daily Star reported an NHS van was used by a gang to ferry drugs across the country.
Using the "Thank You NHS" vehicle to smuggle shipments across the country, the gang were jailed for a collective of almost 100 years.
Leicester Crown Court jailed ten after they admitted to offences including conspiracy to supply Class A narcotics.
The gang raked in over £1.5million by flooding the West Midlands and the surrounding area with more than 100kg of cocaine and heroin at the height of the pandemic.
They were caught following a police investigation which saw their secret EnchroChat messages seized which revealed the drugs ring.
Chief Inspector Peter Cooke, from ROCU, said: "This was a significant Class A drugs operation which was being operated during the Covid pandemic.
"This is part of our ongoing work to destroy drug networks across the West Midlands and this will carry on as part of Op Target."
It is believed the gang were using "Covid loans" as a way of funding their criminal operation.
