    There’s lots of regulation in this area. You can’t legally just give medical advice and then say “but consult a doctor” at the end.

  That’s the beauty of it! You can’t! AI can’t commit malpractice, because you have to prove professional negligence! /s

If this is true, Apple will have to tread very carefully here. 23&Me was forbidden by the FDA from telling you about health risks related to your actual DNA. Now Apple is going to make your health diagnosis based on a Magic 8 Ball?

  it’s an fda run by robert f kennedy jr; he’d probably think a health diagnosis by magic 8 ball is the best thing ever.

They can’t finish AI into the latest smartphone and yet they wax poetic about replacing a doctor? Nah. They just want your sweet data

I’ve heard the song and dance from all the tech companies at this point. Google and Microsoft both offered a package that promised things like chart portability and whatnot. Each was shut down a couple years later, and charts and records remain as locked down as ever

Well, you know what they say; everyone’s got cancer according to WebMD…
