Science has always driven progress in medicine, but AI is taking it to the next level. From smart wearables that track our daily health to AI tools that read scans and detect diseases early, technology is making healthcare faster, more accurate, and more personalized.

Doctors now get AI support in diagnosing patients, predicting risks, and even recommending treatments. At the same time, patients can use apps and devices to monitor their own health in real-time.

But there are big questions too: Can AI truly replace human judgment? Will it make healthcare more accessible, or create a bigger gap?

What do you think—are AI and science making healthcare better for everyone, or do we still have a long way to go?

Depends what you mean by "AI".

Machine learning trained to find cancer can be (and AFAIK is) helpful in identifying early stages of cancer.

Hallucination machines, aka fancy autocorrect, aka LLMs, have no place in any setting where factual accuracy is of utmost importance, such as peoples' health.
