The future of care will belong to people who keep their minds active and let technology amplify their judgment rather than replace it. That’s where the real advantage will be, both for clinicians and for the patients who trust them.

In 2025, healthcare AI stopped being an experiment and became an environment.

Fanboy moment today. Got to meet Ethan Mollick in person. I’ve been following his work for a while, so actually getting to say hi and thank him felt pretty great.

Scaling access to healthcare doesn’t erase the fact that people still need to be seen, heard, and held by humans. Capability isn’t care.

Just saying …

AI will increasingly handle cognitive labor: diagnosis, prediction, triage, documentation, pattern recognition. As machines absorb complexity, the value of the clinician doesn’t disappear. It shifts.

🚀 Working on a pro bono side project to teach kids about AI through an interactive book + website.
Looking for someone to help build & lightly maintain the interactive site.
Know any devs who might be interested?
Great opportunity to do good + gain experience. DM me! 🙌

For years, everyone argued about whether AI would replace radiologists. They missed the point.

The real shift isn’t about replacing the reader - it’s about rebuilding the reading room. Every step, from image acquisition to report, is being re-engineered around intelligence.

Efficiency gains don’t always lead to labor reduction; lower cost or faster throughput may expand use. This feedback loop is essential to model when estimating economic and workforce impacts of AI in healthcare.

Automation is a tool, not a goal. We should not automate just for the sake of it. Used well, automation can document processes and reduce human error, but it must serve a clear purpose. It should never be the default, no matter how clever or efficient it seems.

AI hasn’t crossed the line into independence on any radiologist task. Every core duty still requires human oversight.

With GPT-5, this is the official end of the “blank page” problem. Now the problem is having too many fully formed ideas to choose from!

AI isn't one magic box—it's layers stacked up:

- Infrastructure (data, GPUs, PyTorch)
- Perception (vision, hearing)
- Cognition (understanding, language)
- Decision-making (planning, acting)

GenAI simplifies the stack—but underneath, infrastructure still matters more than ever.

If someone tells you, “AI is better than doctors,” pause and ask: in what way? Then ask, does that mean it should replace them—or help them?

Because better on paper doesn’t always mean better for people.

Reading built the modern world. Without AI literacy, we risk losing control of the next.

Scaling AI in healthcare feels a bit like navigating a global airport — lots of moving parts, different systems trying to talk to each other, and the need for clarity at every checkpoint. But we’re getting there. And the more we build for interoperability and trust, the smoother the journey.

AI doesn’t care what kind of doctor you are.
It sees patterns, not departments.
The old walls in medicine? Blurring.
If we’re thoughtful, AI can bridge gaps and give time back to those who care.
Let’s build tech that adapts to people — not the other way around.

Design like your user is tired, distracted, and scared.

Al's biggest challenge in healthcare isn't accuracy. It's acceptance.

arXiv, the free research archive, has transformed science for 35+ years—hosting 2.6M+ papers & 20K new uploads/month. Despite its outdated UI, it fuels breakthroughs & open access. Big 2022 funding is modernizing it for the future. #OpenScience #arXiv
Inside arXiv—the Most Transformative Platform in All of Science
Modern science wouldn’t exist without the online research repository known as arXiv. Three decades in, its creator still can’t let it go.
