  • Actually, there are doctors that want AI. Just they may not want it like most tech firms are currently pushing it. Each hospital system has a huge database or two or three with massive amounts of patient data. Doctors have talked about setting up data scientists to sort through that data for more effective outcomes to various health issues. It turns out it is too much data for a team of data scientists to sort through. AI might help with that. Just not the LLMs that are being pushed today.

    Some of the challenges: How do you pull that data without personal identification or payment info. Keep in mind John Doe in Somewhere, somestate might be the only person in that state with Obscure Condition, so would be easily identifiable. Because once you have data that may support better outcomes, you’d definitely want to share that with other healthcare systems and government health agencies. Also, how do you use it ethically, something none of the current mainstream AI companies are really going to help you with. How do you share this with insurance companies without them punishing individual patients?
