Why Elon Musk may be right about the future of medicine
“Mark my words. AI (artificial intelligence) is more dangerous than the nukes.”
— Elon Musk.
The other day, as soon as I walked into work, already running my usual 10 minutes late, I was hustling from my office to the clinic when I saw one of our physician assistants in the hallway.
Otherwise known for her calm composure, it seemed odd that she was visibly distressed. She had forgotten her laptop at home and could not find a loaner.
I tried to save her day by offering her my laptop to work on. That would mean I would have a computer to work on in the clerical area, but I would have to see patients the whole day without a computer in the room. She resisted, but I insisted. We both went our separate ways to move on with our days.
