Imagine having a superintelligent, superknowledgeable doctor at your disposal 24/7. This AI will be much more proficient at diagnosis and treatment than our human doctors. And we interact with it exactly how we interact with our human doctors. But there is no time limit on our conversation.
Already the average person has online access to the entire corpus of medical literature. Tomorrow we will ask medical AIs anything about medicine, and they will give us a far more intelligent, accurate and complete answers than what we could ever expect from human doctors.
And these AIs can also help keep us healthy. They can offer personalized advice about weight, diet, supplements and exercise and pretty much anything else that we want to know to stay as as healthy as possible.
An amazing thing about this is that it will all be virtually free. Think about how much we now pay for 15 minutes of a doctor's time. Now imagine being able to talk with your doctor at virtually no cost for as long as you want, whenever you want.
Then there is what these medical AIs can teach inspiring medical students. Whether it's a 7th grade prodigy or a med student or intern wanting to upgrade their knowledge, these medical AIs will be like personal professors who are authorities in their specialty.
Now imagine how our quality of life is too often impacted by less than ideal relationships and by unpleasant thoughts and emotions. Available for sessions anytime of the day or night will be psychiatric AIs that will revolutionize and make far more pleasant and productive the art of psychotherapy.
Imagine the most intelligent, informed, understanding, compassionate, friendly and supportive person being there for us for everything, helping us get closer and better enjoy the real people in our lives.
Yeah, AI is about to revolutionize medicine in a very big way. And it will start with Google's Med-PaL M 2.
