Robotics with digital algorithms is already beginning to see the light of day in commercial models of prostheses with prediction and stabilization of movements through electromyographic measurements (electrical signals originating in the muscles), as well as in prototypes of artificial respiration technology that use information loops between the machine and the patient’s cardiopulmonary system to predict whether it requires dynamic adaptations of its oxygenation level indicators or whether or not the patient can be safely weaned from the ventilator.
The sophistication in the application of AI in the diagnosis of diseases, the selection of treatments, planning of surgical interventions or even remote robotic surgery, is a few years away from clinical tests for its validation and conventional execution.
Technological singularity is the pinnacle of AI, the resulting explosion of intelligence will give rise to increasingly autonomous and precise machines that can generate great benefits for humanity through more efficient health systems, but it can also give rise to great dilemmas bioethics and control over those same capacities.
The idea of these intelligent systems has created factions among the skeptics and the optimists of AI and sparks a lively debate, as we see between authors Peter Diamandis of Singularity University and Max Tegmark of MIT. The future of health in the field of AI and singularity still have a long way to go in common.
what the doctor meant
I don’t know if it happens to them like me when I hear or read Dr. Fernando Castilleja talk to us about the future of health: it seems that we are seeing how everything that a few years ago was called “science fiction” becomes a reality.
I loved the conclusion of “intelligence equals connection” and not individuality, because it means that whatever has to happen, it will be the coordinated sum of many collaborative research and innovation efforts.
