It’s pretty fascinating … Gupta thinks these programs are going to make diagnoses and treatments much more personalized, adding that’s ultimately a great thing, ’cause it’ll help more people get the best care.
The potential flip side … algorithms being used to exploit or harm folks, which Dr. Gupta believes could happen if humans allow it. In other words, bad actors could make AI go south … but he doesn’t suspect it’ll be the machine’s fault — it’ll be our own.
Big picture, though … he seems to be on board, even if it means fewer jobs for surgeons. Things will be more efficient all around, and in his eyes … that’s a blessing.
