When your humanoid robot doctor will live in your home
There’s a question I have been pondering lately. Will there be any human doctors in a few decades?
If that sounds preposterous just wait until you hear my answer.
Let’s examine some of the signals pointing in that direction.
The other day The New York Times reported of a study that had ChatGPT - all by itself - outperform human doctors. Not only that, but it fared better than doctors that also had access to ChatGPT.
This was puzzling to the researchers conducting the study. The conventional wisdom held that AI + human should be superior. But don’t be surprised if we find this assumption repeatedly challenged in the years to come.
