RE:WIRED 2021: Kai-Fu Lee on Using AI in Health Care

What do you think are the potential downsides

of using AI for healthcare?

I actually don't see too much of a downside for,

for healthcare. I think it's one of the few win-wins,

if the people in the medical field and AI field

work together and the data were made available.

I think the trends are very positive in the sense

that all of our data is becoming digitized.

From the example you gave about what using wearable

computing to do 24 by seven monitoring,

but also the high, high accuracy MRIs, and scans

and radiology, and the genetic sequencing,

multi-omics, new ways of doing blood tests extensively.

I think provides a treasure trove of data for each of us

over time.

And that can be compared with many other people.

And when a industry is digitized,

it will become possible to use AI

for all kinds of great applications.
