And then they brought in a sepsis detection, AI driven tool.

You let the tool loose on its own, and it does a couple of things.

It'll detect some sepsis, but it'll also beep all the time.

It'll distract doctors from other care.

And they're so busy in an ICU that they'll just turn it off because they've got other things that are more concerning.

So for about a year, these two doctors and their teams worked with the AI team at a place called Bayesian Health.

They tweaked the algorithm.

They tweaked the noises and the language.

And a year and a half later, they'd reduced sepsis mortality by 40% in the hospital.

And so that's a couple thousand people who are living, not entirely because of AI, but certainly AI played a role.

And the recipe there, which is the same everywhere, is you got to have talented people who actually give a shit.

and are willing to do extra work to make sure that you get the best out of the AI.

But, you know, there was a human being in a back room monitoring Bayesian when I was there.

Lovely woman named Dana, looking at every time it pinged every flag and she would determine, is it right?

Is it wrong?

Give the machine feedback.

And Anthony, I mean, as you know, like a blade server isn't going out to help a patient, right?

So if a couple minutes went by with a serious alert, she'd get out of her chair, she'd go to the bedside, and she'd call the doctors over and say, look at this.

And they'd assess.

And if it was right, treat with antibiotics right away.
