Dr. Sanjay Gupta

Will AI and healthcare ever get to that level of autonomy, being able to act alone, do you think?

I do want to ask your your views on patients using AI and sort of draw these parallels between, you know, Dr. Google and some of the stuff that we've seen before.

And people have strong views on this.

But one of the things in your book that you I mean, you interviewed 100 more than 100 people who are pioneers in medicine and policy and technology.

What was there any surprising disagreements that they had?

Do you think the platforms will get better in that regard?

So let's just say we're talking about the patients here, and you're at home, you have a headache, it's unusual, and you're going to check whatever platform you choose.

I mean, right now, what you've just outlined is a scenario where they may not know the right questions to ask, and therefore they may not be getting great information.

To me, that makes it quite suspect then, because the concern is maybe they don't actually end up following up with the doctor, you know, for something that could be significant.

Does that part of it get better over time, do you think?

You know, you've mentioned open evidence a couple times, and I've had a chance to talk to Daniel Nadler about this, who's the founder of open evidence.

One of the things that's interesting, for people who don't know, first of all, to use open evidence, you have to submit what is known as an NPI, a national provider number, index number.

So the only people who are using this are health care providers.

Also, the aperture, if you will, of the content from which they pull are, you know, peer-reviewed journals and things that are sort of legitimate scientific publications as opposed to everything.

You know, opening up the aperture to everything, every small, you know, case report, but also a Reddit stream and social media and things like that.

And I use open evidence all the time.

And I got to say, what's really wild for me, and maybe you've seen this as well, is I'll see my residents as we're in clinic and they're walking into the patient room and in the hallway at a time.

They're talking to their phone.

And they're getting this even as they're walking to the room.

It's really, it's wild.
