Healthcare is stupid expensive. Even for those with government provided coverage, it still costs a lot of your tax dollars.
Clearly we are not there yet, but within certain conditions we are getting close. If we enable nurses and doctors to be more productive with these tools, we absolutely should explore that. Keep a doctor in the loop as AI is still error prone, but you can line things up in a way such that doctors make the decision with AI gathered information.
- iknowstuff 3y agoYeah, I don’t think we’re more than a decade off from GPs being replaceable with AI. But you can bet they will lobby hard against it.
- Etheryte 3y agoThis is deeply wishful thinking. We're not even remotely close to self driving cars and that is numerous orders of magnitude easier than trying to diagnose a human being with anything.
- iknowstuff 3y agoI’ve been using self driving cars for a year.
- cmiles74 3y agoIMHO, we need structural change in the way US healthcare works. Slathering some AI on top won't solve our cost problems but it will negatively impact our already declining quality of patient care.
