. @drkavehsafavi on AI in healthcare:

Healthcare is based on non-routine work.

If you have technology that can learn for itself, it can start to take over non-routine tasks.

@LongwoodsNotes
Important to distinguish between true AI and ‘rules based technology’

True AI is a generalized learning agent that can learn without context & executes cross-domain problem solving.
In order to mimic human intelligence, AI requires 4 🔑 capabilities:

1️⃣ Sensing
2️⃣ Comprehending
3️⃣ Acting
4️⃣ Learning
. @drkavehsafavi: ‘The greatest impact of AI in healthcare will not likely be in clinical decision making, it will be in the domains of economic and experience.’

AI can not only think for itself, but pay for itself.

@LongwoodsNotes
Loving the framing by @drkavehsafavi:

AI does not take jobs over. It takes tasks over, increasing capacity for human beings to do the tasks that they are best positioned to do.

You can’t replace a doctor. But you can make their job easier.
