Everything Dr. Noah Bennett has contributed across Innovators Report.
What does everyone get wrong about the future of humans and AI?
“We're framing replacement as the objective when augmentation is often much more valuable.”
If AI can identify a disease earlier than I can, I don't feel existentially threatened.
I want it in my clinic tomorrow.
The physician's job shouldn't be preserving tasks simply because physicians historically performed them.
It should be producing better human outcomes.
What will humans still be better at?
“Presence.”
Sometimes the most important thing one person can provide another isn't information.
What will machines become better at sooner than most people expect?
“Diagnosis.”
Medicine contains enormous amounts of pattern recognition. Machines will increasingly see patterns no individual physician could.
What becomes more valuable as machines become more capable?
Empathy
Patients don't only want accuracy. They want somebody who understands what the accuracy means for them.
What do you believe happens next?
“The best doctors become more human, not more technical.”
Machines absorb more analysis.
Physicians spend more time interpreting, communicating and caring.
At least that's the version worth building.
What Will Humans Still Be Better At?
