As a doctor myself, I can say that Khosla’s the voice of an outsider. He only knows what he knows. Doctors talk to patients, notice a few symptoms (症状) and hunt around the body for more signs of illness. However, it isn’t healthcare. Yes, AI can help us detect disease. It has been shown that AI programs are as good as radiologists (放射科医生) at detecting certain types of diseases. These doctors may someday be replaced by AI. But for doctors like myself, AI only offers more opportunities. For a doctor, it’s not that we don’t have enough data. Instead, we have so much data that it becomes a trouble. AI can probably deal with it. With the ability to think, it can help to make sense of all the data. It can help me judge my patients more exactly and lead them to better results. I can even protect “patients” from hidden diseases so that they can enjoy good health all the time. Not long ago, I saw a picture drawn by a girl. In the picture, she is lying on an exam table while her doctor’s eyes are staring at a computer screen. I hope that AI will soon allow me to turn my attention back to that girl. 共 8 页 第8页 80.
