Sample answer outline
1. Take a nuanced position: AI will change tasks (notes, image reading, triage) more than it replaces doctors.
2. Give one real benefit, such as less paperwork or earlier detection, and one real risk, such as biased training data, overreliance or privacy.
3. Say what stays human: judgment under uncertainty, accountability, trust and hard conversations.
4. Close with how you'd use it responsibly.
What makes it work
Balanced, specific and forward-looking.
Avoid
Hype or doom with no examples.
