2. Yes in theory, not really in practice.
3. Again, no one will rely on a machine.
Just like many things could already be done automatically, like flying a plane, eventually a human expert (or usually in complex cases a panel of experts) has the final say, especially for life and death situations.
So your original assertion that AI could replace experts, while strictly true, will not happen in practice.
And AI is far from being infallible, and never will be, which is why those comittees of experts still decide treatment for complex cases.
in case you're gnuinely interested, "reinforcement learning" in the hottest thing in medical AI at the moment, it tries to make decisions under conditions of uncertainty (like AlphaGo).
Fascinating stuff.
