Being a doctor is one of the jobs expected to be least at risk from AI replacement. But a new program launched in Utah is raising questions over that assumption. A healthcare startup will begin offering AI examinations and prescriptions to patients without direct human oversight, making Utah the first state to replace a doctor with an AI.
The good news is that the program is currently very limited in its scope. It’s just one year long and only for patients with mild-to-moderate acne.
The process works when a person signs up for Nolla Health’s $4.99-per-month app and uses it to scan their face. After completing a medical history and personal information form, the AI analyzes their skin, identifies the acne problem, rates the skin’s oiliness, and then generates a numerical acne severity score that ranges between clear skin and severe acne, reports Bloomberg.
What the fuck, Utah!
This state is trash, buddy. Our elected officials blatantly serve the Mormon church. And the Mormon church is an elaborate multi-billion dollar enterprise. So it’s the owner class these mindless cultists vote for in every election.
This doesn’t prevent me from voting for progressive candidates or the least fascist ones when there’s no other option. As soon as my kid is done with school we’re outta here
