The growth of technology is not linear. It is exponential.

We are not ready.

1. Having a family member

working in Vietnam as a teacher,his comments last night was,you folks in the States are at least four years behind China in AI. So rather than spend the money supplying Trump Resorts ,that money could have been used to fix our Tech Industry and make it world class.

2. I don't know how many people in DC have this as a priority.

I hope enough.

3. My guess is not many.

The Younger Members do,but it is a Seniority based system in D.C. and the Likes of what we saw on the Rethug side of the isle on Wednesday,geese,don't think they know what a light switch is.

BTW,you find few US Tech products in Vietnam or even China. The young fellow has 5G as well as most with Cell Phones in Vietnam. Many are riding motor Bikes or Donkey Carts,but they have a 5G phone.

4. Computer Assisted Diagnosis has been used for Mammogram reads, least 8 years

A BBC.com article from January 2020

source--https://www.bbc.com/news/health-50857759

tittle--Artificial intelligence is more accurate than doctors in diagnosing breast cancer from mammograms, a study in the journal Nature suggests.



snip--"An international team, including researchers from Google Health and Imperial College London , designed and trained a computer model on X-ray images from nearly 29,000 women.

The algorithm outperformed six radiologists in reading mammograms."


snip--" The current system in the NHS uses two radiologists to analyse each woman's X-rays. In rare cases where they disagree, a third doctor assesses the images."


snip--" In the research study, an AI model was given anonymised images, so that the women could not be identified.

Unlike the human experts, who had access to the patient's history, AI had only the mammograms to go on."

For the records, with high quality computer images, X-ray films from an urgent care in Iowa, can be read by Radiologists in Columbus Ohio

5. Anyone who says concerns about the effect of automation ok the workforce are overblown

Is deluding themselves.

6. I can't wait until my "doctor" is some teenage Wal-Mart employee wearing a white coat.

Or maybe this:

Nevertheless, it might still be better than our current "health care" system.
