What I've Been Reading

Automate This: How Algorithms Came To Rule Our World by Christopher Steiner. Christopher does a splendid job covering huge area in a well written and precise book. A must read if you like know the AI ubiquity (leave alone what's coming). 


Wouldn’t you like to have a doctor who will:   

• Always be convenient and available. 
• Know all of your strengths and weaknesses. 
• Know every single risk factor your past conditions might signal. 
• Know your complete medical history. 
• Know the medical history of the last three generations of your family. 
• Never make a careless mistake or write an incorrect prescription. 
• Always be up to date on every new treatment and medical discovery. 
• Never fall into bad habits or ruts. 
• Know by heart each one of your baseline measurements: pulse, cholesterol, blood pressure, weight, lung capacity, bone density, and past injuries. 
• Monitor you at all times. Always be searching for the hint of a problem, be it a heart tick, a creeping blood pressure increase, a cholesterol surge, or even trace changes in the air you expel, which could indicate early-stage cancer. 

There exists no human doctor who can do these things. An algorithm can and will do all of them.

“Eventually, we won’t need the average doctor, Algorithms, will provide much better and cheaper care for 90 to 99 percent of our medical needs."
- Vinod Khosla
