Ai tool isn't a proof, so this cannot be used in definitive tests. The absence of something is not proof it isn't there, you just didn't found it. On the other side, it cannot proof you have an issue, it can just find signs of, so a real doctor have to look into it for proof. I do not think this can be used for insurance, even if the tool was quiet accurate in finding signs.
Yeah, like insurance companies give a shit. They will deny millions of people access with this result. They will use the savings to then pay lawyers to smother anyone who tries to fight it.
I don't think this is legal to do so, at least here in Europe/Germany.
