Medical diagnosis was one of the first successful applications of expert systems, and has kept getting better. AI still doesn't have a big role in medicine, and likely won't for some time, because we want a human to blame when something goes wrong. Automating legal reasoning gets a new round of interest every so often, and then everyone realizes the law is deliberately ambiguous and subject to interpretation, and that the legislators and judges like it that way. I think the loss of professional autonomy is a bigger problem for the professions than automation is.
