My view of AI (11)

Most US doctors are quietly using this AI tool. Few patients know about it



Almost two-thirds of physicians — or roughly 650,000 doctors — in the U.S. actively use OpenEvidence, while another 1.2 million use it internationally, OpenEvidence representatives said. With its quick and tailored replies, OpenEvidence has become an AI-era equivalent of consulting a colleague for their expert opinion, though the software can also write patient discharge notes and provide custom study tools for doctors’ medical exams.

Information gathering has always had this element of subjectivity, where as men we have to decide who’s credible and who isn’t. AI’s application is more advanced than using a calculator to help us do mathematics. There is a complex human process of discernment that machine learning has had difficulty replicating. But I know this: if I had a lot figuring to do with numbers I’d rather have a scientific calculator on hand to assist. This idea forms the basis of computing, because computers were designed to make our lives easier. If AI can ultimately become a sophisticated tool that saves us our valuable time then that is a good thing.
