Thanks talkhealth! As highlighted, I do want AI to "replace" doctors (including me), not just to expand access to specialist-level care, but as detailed in my book, AI can detect early health signals where humans can't - from electrocardiograms to retinal images. I also wrote that I hoped AI advances from OpenAI and Google could "be implemented responsibly to give everyone easy access to a personal heart health assistant!" Excited to see Thrive Global and OpenAI partner to put a science-driven, hyper-personalized AI heaalth coach on your phone. And healthy behaviors fight heart disease AND cancer! https://lnkd.in/gUZbUY-f
