Deep Medicine: How Artificial Intelligence Can Make Healthcare Human Again

I didn't know what this book was going to be like going into but it definitely felt like reading a lengthy research paper. It didn't scare me away though, and it had some interesting, retain-worthy information in it. I do think it could've had more brevity based on what it simmers down to, but the author clearly has a passion for the medical field he's worked decades in... so I let it cook.
A.I. isn't going anywhere, and it's dominating spaces one at a time. One of those spaces it's inching into is the healthcare industry. It has the potential to be the *perfect* doctor, but what would that look like? It wouldn't be someone you want as your doctor, as the book argues. A.I. is a tool for progress and offletting some human tasks and it has shown potential in the healthcare industry already through comparisons to radiologists and its efforts to diagnose (often with much higher accuracy!) Yes it has access to all of a patient's medical history and answers to what questions doctors would need to know, but it misses the humanist element. That's where it truly falls short. It's a shine of optomism in a world where A.I. is the subject of thrillers and sci-fi hits. It's a beacon of hope, that humans can embrace what A.I. can do for us, and where we can provide what it can't, and exist simultaneously successfuly. Overall, a good read.
