In a conversation at this year’s rich person convention—aka the World Economic Forum—Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella warned that AI will lose public support unless it’s used to “do something useful that changes the outcomes of people and communities and countries and industries.”
He did at least provide one real example of what he means by all this: “When a doctor can … spend more time with the patient, because the AI is doing the transcription and entering the records in the EMR system, entering the right billing code so that the healthcare industry is better served across the payer, the provider, and the patient, ultimately—that’s an outcome that I think all of us can benefit from.”
Exactly. An automatic second opinion that flags scans that should be looked at again? Excellent. Something that’s wrong 10% of the time being the sole decision maker? No thank you.
Remember a few years ago when articles about neural networks scanning for cancer found stuff before human doctors did? That’s a form of AI I’m afraid will get defunded too when that hammer comes down on all this “LLM in everything” bullshit.
