AI Can Detect Illnesses in Human Breath
I was thinking how things like this could revolutionize healthcare by reducing the need for doctors, who we never have enough of. But you know the saying, AI is always the thing we can't do yet? Meaning the goalposts shift, and stuff that was previously considered a goal of AI research is now just boring automation, and so AI is still a distant dream. Well it occurs to me that there is something similar with healthcare: healthcare is whatever is still expensive to provide. Regardless of how many life-saving treatments and inventions are adopted, there will still be some things that only hospital/clinic staff can help you with. And so we will always have the same bottleneck and people will always complain about access to healthcare, using this bottleneck as their barometer.
