Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hey there, it's Kim, of course. Right after today's Daily Tech Update, I'm going to have a special surprise for you. It's a clip from my other podcast. It's called The Current. It's packed with great tech news that you expect, just a little bit more relaxed. I think you're really going to love it. Just think of it as your tech coffee break. Doctors and lawyers everywhere are rattled.
AI is causing a massive disruption in both professions. I'm Kim Commando for ExpressVPN. When you're online, you're always tracked. Keep your activity private and secure.

For medical doctors, AI is reading radiology scans above human accuracy, diagnosing it in some cases better than general practitioners. In specialties like pathology, dermatology, and many others, AI is threatening their loss of status and loss of patient trust.
Chapter 2: What impact is AI having on the medical profession?
Skill surgeons are safe, for now. The law is even more exposed. AI is drafting contracts, summarizing case law, performing discovery in both civil and criminal cases. Both professions share three traits, the cost of a legal or medical education, income, and prestige. And this is not a temporary change.

You don't want to miss this. I'm going to play a bite-sized sample of The Current. It's my other podcast. Where we dive into all things tech, trends, and life online. I think you're really going to love it. So it used to be that if you wanted to be a scammer and a cyber criminal, you need to have a certain skill set. Okay.
You needed to know about networking and protocols, how to really get into a company's infrastructure to steal from them. But all that has changed because of SaaS.
Chapter 3: How is AI disrupting entry-level jobs across industries?
SaaS? S-A-A-S. Okay. You know what that is? It's like, mm, child, I don't want to talk to you about that. That kind of SaaS? No. Software as a service. Oh. sass and so now you can go into marketplaces not just on the dark web but on the internet and you can say i would like to be a scammer and i need to have like a really good ai scam
And so like, for example, you could get a whole phishing kit and they would give you names and address, email addresses and help you do the template. And then you could send it out to like 500,000 people. And the cost is like $30 a month.
Who's they? Who's selling these programs?
Chapter 4: What are the implications of AI on patient trust in healthcare?
Cyber criminals. Okay. Okay. And so, and then, but if let's say you wanted to go, I just don't want a phishing scam. I want a deep faked scam where I use say, oh, I don't know, Kevin Spacey or Charlize Theron or whoever it may be. And that's going to cost you probably $60 a month.
$60 a month. So obviously this isn't happening in America because those are not American prices, right? Correct, but people in America can buy them. Right, but I'm seeing whoever is developing this and selling it is probably living in some third world nation where $60 a month is a huge chunk of change.
Chapter 5: How is AI changing the legal field?
Yeah, but then you have all these people trying to buy it, and then they upsell them along the way. Like, oh, do you need an 800 number for your people to call? It's a legitimate business. Do you need help with a website? We can build that too. Sure, tech support. Mm-hmm.
Chapter 6: What traits do doctors and lawyers share in the age of AI?
I'm using Gemini's talk feature, Gemini Live. I love the talk feature. It's really good. It's hard in a car, though, because the way it's set up is that if you interrupt, it'll stop. So it's more like a real... What are you talking to it about? One of the stories we're doing on the show today.
Chapter 7: What future changes can we expect in professional fields due to AI?
Oh, really? Yeah, just getting some more details. And I'm mainly just testing it. And, like, I have a sports card collection, so I was telling it cards to upload to a database. I'm just testing it to see how well it works. And it's really interesting. But I find myself going, I'm sitting here having a conversation by myself in a car.
I can see how people could get addicted to that rather than listen to a podcast or music like I normally would. And it does, it feels like a real conversation. And I can see how people now could fall in love with the chatbot.
I did that the other day. I was driving home. I was like, all right, so what should I have for dinner? Right, exactly. And I want some chicken.
And you use the inflection and the same emotion you would with a human conversation, and you get it back from the chatbot. I'm more than ever, do I understand, people falling in love with their chatbot. I would never, but I get it.
Chapter 8: How are cyber criminals utilizing AI for scams?
I guess I get it. But it feels a little more real.
Well, because it's not a robot talking like this.
Correct. And if you do it enough, it'll be habit-forming, and it's going to help you and make you feel better. That's true. I kind of get it.
