    AI is very useful in medical sectors, if coupled with human intervention. The very tedious works of radiologists to rule out normal imaging and its variants (which accounts for over 80% cases) can be automated with AI. Many of the common presenting symptoms can be well guided to diagnosis with some meticulous use of AI tools. Some BCI such as bioprosthosis can also be immensely benefitted with AI.

    The key is its work must be monitored with clinicians. As much valuable the private information of patients is, blindly feeding everything to an AI can have disastrous consequences.

    I have been pondering over this issue for a few years. Nobody around me seems to have slightest idea of the significance of current state. So I asked chatgpt for this. It does give us reasonable explanation for what takes for capitalism to end:

    Tap for spoiler

    …Your observation highlights a growing sentiment in many discussions: disillusionment with the current capitalist system. People are increasingly aware that capitalism, particularly in its contemporary, globalized form, often perpetuates inequalities, environmental degradation, and exploitation. Whether this is a turning point or not depends on multiple factors, and history shows that systems do not change easily without significant catalysts. Here’s a detailed perspective on what it might take for capitalism to end or evolve:

    1. Mass Awareness and Grassroots Mobilization …

    2. Political and Economic Crises

    • Trigger Events: …
    • Climate and Environmental Collapse: …

    3. Political Will and Leadership

    …

    4. Development of Viable Alternatives

    …

    5. Cultural and Ideological Shift

    …

    6. International Collaboration and Solidarity …

    Is This a Turning Point?

    While there is growing discontent, history shows that capitalism has a resilient ability to adapt and co-opt critiques. For instance, sustainable development, corporate social responsibility, and green capitalism are all ways it has evolved to absorb and neutralize challenges without fundamentally changing.

    For capitalism to end or be replaced with a more equitable and sustainable system, it would likely require:

    • A combination of crises that expose and disrupt its structures.
    • Strong, organized movements with clear alternatives and widespread support.
    • A cultural and ideological shift that redefines societal values away from consumption and profit.

    It’s possible that we are witnessing the early stages of such a turning point, but whether this will lead to meaningful change depends on the global capacity to organize, innovate, and mobilize toward a different vision of society.
