US Congress proposed bill to allow AI to prescribe drugs and medical treatment

The fact that this has even been proposed is horrifying on so many fucking levels. Technically it has to be approved by the state invovled and the FDA, but opening this door even a crack is so absurdly out of touch with reality.
This is the danger with AI. Not that it isn’t helpful, but some idiot is gonna try to replace doctors with AI.
Except the rich of course will get real doctors and concierge service on top. They’re trying to kill off the rest of us I swear to god.
Maybe Elysium was a warning
AI = austerity. Replacing creaking but functional systems with crap that doesn’t work is a little bit cheaper, and the money goes to the right people (billionaires) instead of the wrong people (doctors, nurses, cleaners, admin).
