A lot of medical AI systems have potential but aren’t there yet. Like with LLM’s they are often oversold and underdeliver. But we will need them in the end if doctors are going to have to do a multitude of the work with the same amount of staff. But need to make sure we steer well clear of malignant AI companies looking to make a quick buck.

So this is a phase of trial and error. We have to do independent studies on software and look more at academically driven and open source options.
