The AI tipping point in healthcare: How radical advances will change the future of health
Behind the scenes, healthcare is gearing up for a radical acceleration. When it comes to medicine, AI and other cutting-edge technology is like a time machine, it’s allowing us to do in weeks what used to take years, and in years what used to take decades.
Right now much of this progress is at the infrastructure level, it’s the unsexy story of niche scientific breakthroughs. At some point however, quite possibly in the next 10 years, healthcare will have its own 'ChatGPT moment,' and when that comes it’ll be like trying to remember the world before smartphones -- a fundamentally different era.
Today, we’re getting into everything to do with the future of health and why. If there was ever something to be optimistic about, this is it.
