As Artificial intelligence has many pro’s such as having a system that has stored memory and will not forget what it has learned. This is what the video builds on as people make mistakes and AI is mistake free. What the video suggest is using AI to assist humans in critical moments. The issue is that AI would not have something that is very important, which is the interaction piece. Certain cultures of people have a hard time trusting doctors from different cultural backgrounds as them. AI is not a person at all and the interaction and empathy that is shown by most doctors. Sometimes hospital visits are more about the interaction then the cure itself. That would missing with AI. A plus would be that AI may not have built in biases against patients. Such as last week when we read about stigma staging substance use patients. AI may not have the functions to stereotype and only look to help the patient and not judge. In conclusion, AI could serve as a great assistance to healthcare but would have to be used in the same way and not relying only on AI to make decisions, that sometimes, intuition and experience is the largest factor in providing care.

My name is Chauncey Jackson and I currently reside in Alameda, Ca but was raised in Fairfield, Ca. The pronoun I go by is he. I am married with a two year old daughter and 1 more daughter on the way in January. I am a senior in college but I am 34 years old. I decided to go back to school to enhance my career as a healthcare professional. I am Director of a department at San Francisco hospital and believe this course can help further my knowledge of healthcare and the medical world. I'm a sociology major and look forward to learning new topics that elevate my thinking and understanding of medical sociology and apply it to my job now. View more posts
