A.I. has come a long way baby. A software program exists that can predict with 91% accuracy if someone is suicidal. Scary or wonderful?

Marcel Just, a Carnegie Mellon Psychology Professor and Director of the Center for Cognitive Brain Imagery,  is the inventor/creator. He has spent most of the last decade "teaching" computer programs how to identify thoughts. He found that each emotion has a specific signature in the brain( as ascertained with the use of MRI technology) and "trained" a piece of software to follow the patterns and recognized about 30 concepts and emotions. He created AI than can read thoughts. He and some colleagues published a paper recently in the journal NATURE. Will such machines replace psychiatrists? Are humans becoming extinct as doers while machines take over all doing?
