The ABCs of using AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) is responsible for producing just under 20% of all corporate and government written content, from job posts to press releases, and one study found that AI was used in about one out of 10 student writing assignments. No wonder a Pew Research Center survey found that around half of you are worried about how AI will be used, abused and regulated.
But AI may offer enormous benefits -- especially concerning medical care. Supercomputing can uncover hidden patterns in scans, design new medicines, and predict how activity in your body might lead to treatable health problems long before they do lasting harm. Plus, in the longevity coaching programs that are available at 4YOUngevity.com, we use AI (with a closed LLM, or large language model) to lower the cost to you.
Another example of how beneficial AI can be is the a-Heal device. It's a smart bandage that lets doctors monitor a wound, personalize treatment and speed up healing by 25%. And then there's AI's ability to allow evaluation of cornea problems, called keratoconus, so your doctor can determine if you're at risk of going blind years down the road and act today to prevent future vision loss.
But it's not always smart to use AI health information you get online. The American Medical Association says it's best to think of it as augmented, not artificial, intelligence. It should enhance, not replace, interaction with your doctors. And for more smart ways to use the latest breakthroughs in medical care, check out the free newsletter at 4YOUngevity.com.
