It's the whole not hotdog and or hotdog issue. Computers are generally very good at one specific task, ie, if something IS a hotdog or not, far better than processing millions of genetic markers and then making the judgement if enough match. Still a long way before these systems can be dependable, and by then I figure the AI itself will need to think more like humans than just hard data being processed.

It seems to be good at spotting cancer cells,but for picking out people, not so much.
