There’s a lot of hype about “AI”, which usually means some sort of LLM, without much seeming to come from it.
But here and there, on the margins, there are news stories like this showing versions of AI with actual, real world application.
And then there’s the authors of Alphafold getting the Nobel prize last year, and accurately predicting the structure of ~200 million different proteins.
And I recently learned that various AI systems have “solved” ~10 of Paul Erdős famous math problems, though some say that they just were able to find previously published solutions that had been overlooked. That’s impressive enought.
When these things are doing math, and science, and making actually useful interpretations of medical imaging, it’s going way past hype into something that seems much more significant.
And it’s happening really fast.
....and who loses?
Pretty school there will be no good reason for careers in radiology much less med school.
“And it’s happening really fast.”
Yep, AI is going to dwarf the industrial and internet revolutions.
As a result it will cause major cultural and societal upheavals.
Buckle up!
