Wow.
That's what Microsoft did.
There's a nice blog by Microsoft showing that that actually does better than most doctors.
Yeah, that's all you're doing.
Well, no, because they're playing different roles.
Yeah!
It's wonderful.
It's brilliant.
AI can design great new drugs.
There's lots of little minor things it can do.
Like, in any hospital...
they have to decide when to discharge people.
If you discharge them too soon, they die or they come back.
So you have to wait until they're good enough to be discharged.
But if you discharge them too late, you're wasting a hospital bed that could be used to admit somebody else who's desperate to be admitted.
And there's lots and lots of data there.
And AI can just do a better job than people can at deciding when it's appropriate to discharge somebody.
And there's a gazillion applications like that.
Absolutely.
So for things like climate change, for example, AI is already good at suggesting new materials, new alloys, things like that.
