Lol. I’m a surgical tech, cracking away at the prereqs for nursing school with the ultimate goal of becoming an OR nurse…
AI will DEFINITELY replace a ton of people at every level in healthcare.
Most of the ORs I’ve worked in make use of a DaVinci surgical robot for laparoscopic procedures; more recently, other services are finding reasons to use it as well. The kicker is that we don’t really own the robots, we rent them. To use them, they need to be connected to DaVinci’s network, which sends them data about every case in real time. There are service utilities if we need to call the reps, who now know exactly what we’ve done if something fucks up in the middle of a case… But, surgeons are actively pumping metric fucktons of data into the machine learning algorithm that will come back to replace half the OR staff.
I recently had to build a structure on the top of a mountain. All materials, tools and us were flown in by helicopter and it didn’t have a place to land so we had to hop out while it was hovering. I’m not sure if AI/robots will get to the point that they could do that in my lifetime but everything else about my job will one day be robot/ai. All of these places advertising that AI can’t replace them are delusional.
