if you give a flying (sic) about solving medical issues, and actually know a thing or 7 about curing disease, check out Kaggle's competitions. The cervical cancer competition is of particular interest.

If you happen to disagree, step away from your doubt for a sec and listen: we can, and will cure these diseases with AI. That's the whole point. We imbue our intelligence into a machine and voila, the machine does what we ask it to do with greater expediency and more acumen than an individual can do alone. We don't garden with machines and say" wow, this took fifteen thousand people to build, should we use it so we can do other stuff instead?".

Nope. We say, thank you John Deere, I'll take 2. While we are at it, let's look a little deeper and think about how civilization functions in general. Is that not what we do? We connect, we decide to work together, and next thing you know, we improve our quality of life: otherwise known as a corporation (or conglomerate if you wannanother version, ya heard?).

So, is AI good for medicine, yes: it is.

Here's a free thought to prove my point. Using my intellect today I deduced that anxiety is absurdity masked as truth. Imbue that into some AI, you'll heal the minds of the world, ok?
