ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: Healthcare

By Staff Reporters

***

***

The healthcare industry has tried for years—but to little avail—to figure out how artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to make work easier and improve patient care.

Despite the middling success healthcare has had with AI, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), the largest venture capital firm in the US, has bet big on healthcare AI startups in the past year. The firm has invested in at least four startups and co-led three funding rounds totaling $328 million.

Investment partner Daisy Wolf and general partner Vijay Pande at a16z wrote in an August blog post that the VC firm is aware that “the AI hype cycle has hit healthcare before.” But, the two partners wrote, “we’re excited by today’s overlap of data availability, public foundation models, and widespread interest.”

STUDY: ChatGPT Out Performs Doctors?

Answering Patient Messages

***

The study on ChatGPT “outperforming” doctors in answering patient questions quickly became the talk of the town. However, as is often the case, it was presented as a prime example of media sensationalism. 

As we encounter more of these partially misinterpreted hypes – and rest assured, there will be many – we’ll need to navigate a sea of questions. Firstly, we must determine what AI can genuinely do better than healthcare professionals. Secondly, we need to consider how to identify unique areas where healthcare workers can assist patients, while AI automates repetitive and data-driven tasks.
