What exactly does “personalized medical treatment” entail?
Writing prescriptions?
Ok, I can see how AI could theoretically do that (assuming it doesn’t hallucinate and kill a bunch of people). Oh and don’t think it’ll be so easy to give AI the legal authority to prescribe controlled substances. And insurance companies may take issue with expensive prescriptions written by a chat bot.
Perform surgeries? Stitch wounds?
That’s decades away. And that also opens a legal can of worms. Maybe the AI lawyers can figure something out.
