[QUOTE="anonymous23456, post: 5549605, member: 104188"] I don't trust any experts commenting about AI. Here is a comment from the internet about the true intention of AI: Even for this lucky group the proposed scenario is naively optimistic. If automation reduces workload by say 30% they company will fire 30% of the employees and have the rest cover the remaining workload. In fact they will probably fire 50% and tell the rest to "work smarter not harder". Think of all the profits. Even here I am not sure this is the case. Yes there will be humans but nurses are expensive. If AI assistance allows one nurse for 9 patients instead of 1 nurse for 7 patients then KA CHING cut your nurse staff by 20% and roll in that loot. Hell you could even sell it as a premium service. Normal insurance gets you in the low human oversight pod (20:1) but upgrade to the premium plus plan and you will get a pod with a guaranteed max patient to nurse ratio of 6:1. I mean come on we have 300+ years of history of companies ALWAYS taking the :censored:tiest possible path in the event of change, technology, or disruption. The only time they don't is when regulation prevents them and regulation usually trails the :censored:ty actions by a few decades. We don't have to pretend that companies won't out of the zillions of possibilities opt for the absolute :censored:tiest one to boost profits for the 0.1% by a quarter percent. [/QUOTE]
