Good grief, has she not seen all the advances in medical technology in the last 50 years? Life saving technology? How can someone with such high qualifications be this stupid?

And on a side note, she also says ‘AI is for everyone’. if AI is for everyone, why doesn’t she champion for companies to stop putting AI technologies up behind paywalls and subscriptions? 🤔

    If ai tech is so important and life saving tell me what it can actually do right now.

    I’m not sure if your statement is rhetorical or if you’re actually looking for provable life saving AI. If you’re looking for actual use cases today then here’s a couple:

    • Waymo driver (the computer) has fewer car crashes and of those crashes they are far less severe than human drivers. This includes 94% fewer serious injury or worse crashes than a human driver and 82% fewer injury crashes than a human driver. source
    • Breast cancer detection - The study revealed that the AI group had 20% more cancers detected than the radiologist-only group. source

      I’m guessing that what he’s getting at is more in terms of first responders: AI may be able to detect cancer or diagnose something, but what can it do for a man who calls 911 or 999 and says he is having a heart attack — AI cannot help here, only an actual human being can. The question is where do we throw the money? What is the priority? There are undoubtedly arguments for both sides, but people who are against AI will naturally side with the option which involves putting less money into AI and more money into practical applications lG

      It was both. We had machine learning before there were massive environment killing data centers. I’m not getting why my ram has to cost $700 now though

        Yeah this is like saying the space program was justified because we got tang out of it.
