Interesting future between the AI and healthcare providers
In the future, artificial intelligence will diagnose you and pick out the right medication. And the new role for the doctor? To provide a human connection.
That's according to Kai-Fu Lee, CEO of Sinovation Ventures (创新工场), former president of Google Greater China, and author of the book "AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order."
Lee predicts the complicated, technical parts of medicine will be handled by AI. But the role of doctors will change dramatically. Once physicians aren't bound by the scientific requirements of medicine, they will rely more on developing emotional intelligence and good communication when providing care to patients.
"Doctors no longer need to have an [encyclopedic] knowledge of all kind of diseases and treatments, which is where mistakes come from," Lee said, in the video interview.
What's your take? In an AI-driven medical system, what role do you think doctors should play? Does this mean physician salaries will drop?
