And doctors are using these tools in the US.

I think one of the latest studies was about two thirds of doctors are using it.

using AI daily.

I did a study in the UK, not published yet, but we got the findings.

UK GPs, the study was administered in January this year, and we found a doubling in the use of doctors using generative AI tools, including actually mostly chat GPT.

So doctors are availing of these sorts of tools, which often are consumer chatbots, but not the ones that were formerly designed for the use that were quite poorly integrated into clinical workflow.

So what is really interesting is AI is already within the clinic without doctors being trained in it.

They're just finding use of these tools.

And what's really interesting too, of course, is patients use these tools as well.

We don't yet have the studies on that right now, but what I am seeing is a resistance on the part of the medical profession of patients using these tools.

So there does seem... It's almost a kind of paternalism 2.0.

So there's the idea that, well...

Doctors know how to use these tools.

They're the experts, so they can use these tools better than patients.

And there's a fear that patients just can't master or command the information that is being thrown back at them.

But unfortunately, that really doesn't work as an argument.

And for empirical reasons, it doesn't work.

We saw the same thing of two reasons.

We saw the same argument arise with Google, with doctors saying patients shouldn't be Googling their symptoms and everything pointing to cancer and all the rest of it and patients panicking.

Actually, the evidence showed that patients on the whole
