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.
As written, I don't necessarily have a problem with it. It simply allows the possibility for AI to be approved. However, AI is nowhere near ready. I'm quite worried it'll be approved for use before it is ready though.

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!!!
