Raw LLM Responses

Navid discussed how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can improve healthcare and I completely agree. He pointed out all the benefits of AI in healthcare such as the ability to collect more data quicker, does not have unconscious biased, and more accurate diagnoses all of which, would help save lives. I assumed data would be entered into a software from all over the world and able to be accessed within seconds. That is faster and more thorough than any physician or laboratory communication I’ve ever witness for diagnosing patients. One broad example would be COVID; could it have been potentially isolated sooner if we would have known the severity and consequences of the illness when it first began? The downfall of this information being at everyone’s fingertips is when the treatment is unavailable in one country but not another. I imagine that would create an emotional challenge for the physician and patient if there is a known successful treatment yet unable to get access to it however, I feel that could eventually be resolved. Another concern would be the many exceptions we see in medicine. The AI may only output the most common symptoms or treatments which would cover most cases but the few numbers of “abnormal” cases may not benefit from an AI program. It would be nearly perfect if the AI could give an “I don’t know” answer as Navid suggested. Unlike human physicians, AI will have no ability to create unconscious biased ever. Each patient case will input of their illness or disease, the AI will compare the individual’s information to a large data set and that’s it! It cannot take into consideration the “type” of patient such as a helplessness patient or difficult patient. It cannot see past experiences of patients such as substance abuse. Both of which, I think, can influence a human physician’s opinions and potentially patient treatment. That being said, sometimes knowing the patient’s personality does positively influence the type of treatment that would be best because a compliant patient is better than patient that refuses treatment. Our world is getting large and populated at a fast rate, and no human can keep up. Although there is no way AI can take over completely. Humans have higher order thoughts and emotions that an AI is far from containing. As long as the AI can continuously gather data from around the world, adapt to the collected data, and there is still human oversight, I think AI would be a huge benefit to medicine.
