Dude all of these companies are shit stains, and as much as I hate to say it, it’ll probably be a while before we get universal healthcare here in the states, so anything to relieve the problems of the current system should at least be looked at. AI does have the potential to aid in bridging that gap by reducing costs that could ultimately sway public opinion on a single-payer system, while also reducing the workloads of the critically understaffed units so they can actually spend more time per patient and determine proper diagnosis and treatments without making rushed decisions.
The problem is that the allocation of these potential savings are determined by for-profit asshats, so we’ll see how that goes.
