Using image-analysis "AI" to diagnose cancer or whatever sounds good until you realise they'll use it as an excuse to fire healthcare professionals and defund hospitals.
They're trying to save money, not lives.
Even in the best case scenario (Human-in-the-loop, where they have a human check the AI's results) what will happen is that the senior oncologist reviewing your tests will be replaced by an underpaid, overworked medical intern in an underdeveloped country.
But even if you believe the capitalists won't take this chance to offshore medical care (lol.), even if you think that an expert will still be reviewing your results...
Studies show humans get less accurate when they know results have been pre-checked by an AI.
From what I gather, the most effective use of AI is as an assistant with the human in charge.
But you're right - what's most effective is not what's least expensive. The plan to save money is to put AI in charge of low-wage human assistants.
It's a nightmare for workers and customers / patients!
Just a side note: once AI can think (quantum computing 25 years away)
It will go after big jobs—- like CEO assistant because it’ll know it’s smarter than them. They’re building it to think not to do mundane tasks
AI is excellent for automating the boring, repetitive & tedious stuff. It was already being used for that in science etc
But ofc that does not sound sexy to the c-suit crowd
Doesn't help that Altman is raking in investor money with false promises
