What is better - a machine diagnoses Cancer or the expert such as doctor?

As we realoized many AI systems are already better as medical staff these days - at least in specific diagnostic areas - means another new problem when we think of technologoy sees cancer but the doctor not (or ignores it simply), who is responsible and what can patients do in terms of their insurance, who is liable for waht? The AI creator or hospital or doctor?

Currently the law is not ready for this - think in no matter country of the world you live in. Shit local health policies might even bring doctors to stay with their outdated established standards even not state of the art anymore - so we need a match between legal and medical areas to solve that problem, agreed?
