If you end up needing insurance to get help from an AI doctor bot, we have failed as a civilization.
Meet our Insurance agent FloBot.
Look at me, look at me, hands in the air like it’s good to be

AI can be fairly easy to democratize. The bleeding edge language models created two years ago with large effort are available today as open source projects. It’s difficult for companies to create long term business cases because of that.
But getting permission from the government for the bot to write prescriptions will be as difficult as the government decides it will be.
This is the application I think I’m most excited about for LLMs. A well trained LLM can correlate and reference more data points than any human could, which would help diagnose weird stuff a human doctor may or may not recognize. Especially if the LLM is kept up to date with cutting edge medical advances.
I mean in scifi there’s those tubes you go in and let the thing repair humans. Gonna want one at home lol.
autodoc! I really enjoyed their implementation in The Expanse.

How long before we’re governed by Ai?
It’ll either be the apocalypse or utopia, so personally I’d vote for taking the risk.

I suppose that having access to all internet data used to train the AI would make it much easier for human students to pass the exam too.
This is so exciting - there is a big potential here, if we are careful and cautious.
I think the computer scientist they interview in the article hits the nail on the head with his statement:
these models “should always be regarded as assistants rather than the final decision makers
AI technologies as an extension of human ability is going to revolutionise a lot of professional fields. But, we need to approach the technology the right way! We need to start early, and have digital literacy as a focus area in schools.
