“AI is not going to replace humans and health care in the near future. It is, right now, providing clear potential for augmenting human capabilities for health, so that human beings can do more and manage with less complexity and less cost.” – USAID Assistant Administrator for Global Health, Dr. Atul Gawande At #WHA77, Dr. Gawande discussed opportunities to harness the power of #AI for global health, and manage its risks.

The human factor is what keeps AI from becoming entropic. Without novel creation, insight and guidance, it is limited. #Augmentation rather than #Replacement is key in the understanding and planning process of implementing both #MachineLearning and #AI in healthcare.

Couldn’t agree more with Dr Gawande’s take. Exactly what we’re telling our clients based on what we’re seeing in the communities where we work across the African continent!!! But so many people are racing to solve with the vision that Ai will replace the need for human beings in the system and make everything more efficient. That’s just not going to prove true for quite some time!
