AI Haven't A Clue
Former Google DeepMind Exec Warns: “Humans Are Already Falling Behind AI” | Steve Brown

Just plug it into the back of your head, you know, download it all, and then sort of away you go, yeah.

AI Haven't A Clue

Sort of see it as Google's AI lab.

AI Haven't A Clue

So any sort of AI system they could build, probably stuff around language, probably stuff around maps.

AI Haven't A Clue

You know, it's sort of like a, what could I say, a sort of an AI potion that you could pour on all the brilliance that Google do already.

AI Haven't A Clue

But like an amazing UK success story.

AI Haven't A Clue

Goodness me.

Healthcare has come up a lot, hasn't it, actually, in some of the guests we've talked to.

My knee jerk goes, I think, probably the AI.

AI Haven't A Clue

But the more I sort of think about it, maybe the doctor wouldn't be a bad idea.

The thing you've got to remember about what doctors do is sort of medicine and everything around it isn't just about sort of knowledge and retaining knowledge.

You can upload all of the knowledge to JackGT and it can learn it and spit it back at you.

AI Haven't A Clue

But it's not just about memorizing it.

AI Haven't A Clue

There is empathy, judgment, wisdom, stuff that is going to be really hard for AI to do.

AI Haven't A Clue

So even if it's got all the data and it could look at something, it still might not get it right.

You know, doctors have on a daily basis very difficult conversations with people, symptoms that maybe aren't clear, like how would you talk to someone who couldn't give you any information because they were in a coma or they were mute or something like that.

AI Haven't A Clue

So doctors have this sort of innate skill set that maybe AI doesn't, which would sort of lead me towards a human doctor at 20 years.
