The article greatly overestimates where computers are in diagnosis and in medicine. The linked article about computers being 41% more accurate than doctors doesn't even seem to be found in the article, they were comparing a computer model to another computer model, not to doctors, and not in a prospective setting. And the author is a medical student who started a technology company and so has an interest in computers in medicine.
It is true that computers will play a bigger and bigger role in medicine and that it will be a combination of what computers are good at and what doctors are good at.
