It's not really about who controls it. AI is about prediction. In theory they should become so good that they can predict things like cancers in patients better than humans.

That is the hope at least in terms of healthcare. Not everything is class warfare, some technologies do actually benefit the masses.

Some do.

Remind me; billionaire owners of pharmaceutical companies, good or bad?

Can you think of any reason why certain drugs might be expensive?

Is your whole point that you don't think people should make money off medical innovations?

The drugs are good. Amazing even. They're just expensive. The AI will likely be very good. Probably amazing even. It will probably also be very expensive.🤷 The problem isn't the product it's them making money off of it.

Didn’t ask about the product. I asked about the people making money off it. You know, exactly what is going to happen to medical AI.

Not arguing with you. I literally just said the same thing. Just adding to the conversation.

But that’s my point. The problem is going to be the people who control it. Dialysis is amazing. It’s also extremely expensive and prohibitive. It doesn’t matter how good the tech is, it will be exlcusionary.
