1Mby1M Virtual Accelerator AI Investor Forum: With Investor Gus Tai (Part 4)

Sramana Mitra: As an aside, I think the human-centric aspect of AI can actually turn out to be a very beneficial factor in healthcare, just because it’s a natural propensity for human beings who are in need of care to want another human being to be taking care of them; not a robot, not a digital persona. So, I think this may be at the end of the day in an industry that can be augmented by AI – the training and the ability to care will be powered by AI. However, there is also the human aspect – the compassion and the care aspect that can, if we can make it survive from an economics point of view, make the industry become a far more efficient and better quality care industry.

Sramana Mitra: Now, I’m going to take this logic a little bit in uncharted territory. I think the most important impact of AI is in healthcare. We’re going to have a planet of 10 billion people to service from a healthcare perspective. So let’s just do back of the envelope Math. Let’s just assume that we need a 100 million trained doctors to be able to cater to that large population. We’ll probably need some 10 million hospitals and clinics to be able to manage that whole function.

So, is it possible that we can do that with AI?
