MODERATORS
If they can take away drudge work that hospitals force nurses to do and let human nurses do more in-person work (AI can not deliver a baby, for example), good, right?
Assuming they only put the AI on tasks where the AI is as good as a human or better because they will get sued if it makes a mistake, then this is just the same health care for cheaper to me. That's good. We need cheaper healthcare.
In theory it could be a good thing. In practice hospitals will lay off a bunch of nurses to save cost, the system will be just as overloaded as ever, except now you talk to cold unfeeling machines instead.
You know some hospital system will be out there hiring brainless diaper changers to replace RNs, and have a limited number of real nurses who will be very over worked.
Kind of.
Absolutely stupid. Some business major is going to promote this and get their hospital shut down for malpractice.
Nurses get paid $90 an hour?
No, they cost $90/hour. They're probably factoring in the assumed cost of benefits and management salaries.
Oh, hell this is the healthcare industry. That's probably just what they charge before insurance companies get their discounts.
