Artificial intelligence in medicine and science

Probably very little because even if AI was perfect, the editors would still be in charge.

Given how much incompetence, bias and corruption it will expose, if anything it will show the necessity of moving away from human gatekeepers, with all their biases, friends in high places and how cheap humans are to buy.

We've even seen in recent years how even the flagships of medical science, the big journals, have little value of their own outside of the unearned reputation they have for having value. Especially, the entire idea of self-correction has been effectively disabled.

It will be exciting, for sure. A lot of people will be howling mad. What comes after will be unrecognizable, but what exists today is not sustainable, and will be swamped by AI-produced science anyway.

A lot of us will be able to say "we told you so", but things will be so chaotic that it will likely get lost in the mix. Everything depends on who controls the AIs, or if they can be controlled at all. And as much as we need a stable society to function, the current stability is so stagnant that it holds no value to any of us returning to a normal life.
