It seems a little dangerous "to send machines where doctors won't go" -
you'll get the machines treating the poor, and human experts for the privileged
few.
Also, expert systems for economics and social science, to help us would be fine,
if there was a convincing argument that a)these social sciences are truly 
helpful for coping with unpredictable technological change, and b) that there
is a sufficiently accepted basis of quantifiable knowledge to put in the 
proposed systems.
