INTRO:

● Today I will be discussing whether or not artificial intelligence should


replace medical professions such as GPs and surgeons.

● AI is well-known for its rapid learning abilities and exponential growth


and involvement worldwide, particularly over the last few years.
● The global AI market is expected to grow annually by 37%, and is
estimated to create 133 million jobs by 2030.

● But how does it play a role in the healthcare industry?


● AI is currently being incorporated into all forms of healthcare, helping
doctors be more efficient and increasing the diagnostic accuracy

MAIN:

● A recent study showed that an AI trained to perform medical interviews


surpassed the performance of human doctors at conversing with
simulated patients and listing possible diagnoses based on their past
medical history.
● AI outperformed humans in politeness, conversation quality, honesty
and expressing care and commitment.
● Our perception of AI portrays it as a cold, passionless existence, but this
study suggests it may be better at being human than humans.

PROBLEMS:

● However drawbacks to AI still exist;


● Even though we continue to be impressed with AI’s abilities, patients still
harbour a lack of trust and reluctance to work with AI.
● Patient’s believe that their needs are unique and cannot be addressed
by algorithms, and prefer to interact with a human rather than AI. As of
today, this is a valid concern- our AI is not advanced enough to consider
individual differences in humans such as genetic predispositions; this is
something only a human doctor could address.
● And if a surgery fails or a person is prescribed the wrong medicine due
to a software malfunction, no one can be sued or directly blamed.
● Many refuse to accept the advancement of this technology; this is
problematic as our reluctance to incorporate AI into the healthcare
system limits the growth and development of modern medicine; a survey
showed that even when people are told that their lives are safer in the
hands of AI, they still choose a human doctor.
● Therefore the general population must be made aware of the benefits of
AI, which should slowly reduce resistance.
● Despite concerns, last year, £21 million in funding was provided to the
NHS for AI diagnostic tools and imaging networks that will help in
quicker and more accurate diagnosis, and many believe this was the
right choice.
MANY ADVANCED SYSTEMS HAVE ALREADY BEEN DEVELOPED:
● Such as the Da Vinci system is a highly precise mechanism which aids in
performing the longest and most complicated surgeries by mimicking
the movements of the surgeon at the desk.
● It is much more practical as it has a wider range of movement than the
human wrist.
● Da Vinci robot surgeons are the starting point before robots will be
programmed to complete simple surgeries independently, before
moving on to more complex ones.

WORLD'S FIRST AI HOSPITAL TOWN:

● Earlier this year in March, researchers in China finished developing


‘Agents hospital’.
● This virtual hospital features virtual patients treated by AI doctors;
designed to evolve and improve their medical expertise.
● Can treat up to 10000 patients in a few days with an overall accuracy of
93% which is more than human accuracy.
● 10000 patients would take the average doctor about 2 years.
● If incorporated into real healthcare, it will increase efficiency and save
lives, but also aid in training medical students as it is interactive

IN CONCLUSION:

● In conclusion, I believe we should continue to develop AI for a better and


safer healthcare system, without dismissing the role of human doctors,
as they will always play an indispensable role in maintaining functioning
hospitals and offering reassurance and comfort to patients.
