The flip side is that the company that owns the doctor AI doesn't want you to use it because their 95% successful diagnosis means every 1 in 20 cases they have the opportunity to get sued.

Well presumably they would be using it to replace a doctor with even worse success rate so I'm not sure why wouldn't they want me to use that instead.

Legislation is always 2+ decades behind technology. Legal protections are in place for doctors making wrong decisions with the information they have on hand as long as it's to the best of their ability. The same protection doesn't extend to someone's brand new AI doctor.
