It's so exquisitely stupid to deploy an unproven and very-well-known-to-fuck-up solution at this kind of scale and importance. It really drives home how science and technology communication are crucial and that the recent hype around "AI" (what a fucking misuse of the phrase; it's a very complex weighted plinko board) was criminally negligent.

Right!! I'd have to imagine an AI used for patient health data will be quite difficult to obtain HIPPA approval. Then again, HIPPA seems more like a concept to make patients feel more comfortable about the amount of data doctors offices have on them more recently.
