What If Generative AI Turned To Be A Flop In Healthcare?
The excitement surrounding generative AI is reaching a fever pitch. From tech giants to healthcare leaders, investment in this seemingly game-changing technology is exploding. We’re embracing the trend: we’ve written dozens of articles, created multiple videos, published an ebook, and recently launched a new short course.
However, amidst the enthusiasm, AI expert Gary Marcus raised an important question a few months ago: What if, for all its promise, generative AI fails to deliver long-term? While he outlined the pessimistic scenario in general, I wanted to dissect what genAI being a flop would mean in hea...

Ready for Robots?
By KIM BELLARD
When I was young, robots were Robby the Robot (Forbidden Planet, etc.), the unnamed robot in Lost in Space, or The Jetsons’ Rosey the Robot. Gen X and Millennials might think instead of the more malevolent Terminators (which, of course, are actually cyborgs).

Alas, last week Boston Dynamics announced it was discontinuing Atlas. “For almost a decade, Atlas has sparked our imagination, inspired the next generations of roboticists and leapt over technical barriers in ...
