While Courtney put all of her son’s medical
data into one AI, Brown has an entire team of AI experts representing different specialties. The torrent of new information arriving ev-
ery day makes it almost impossible for a human to maintain their expertise, says Brown. “The scale of medical knowledge and the
pace of development of medical knowledge are beyond the capacity of the human brain to com- prehend all by itself,” he tells Newsmax. “It’s just beyond human scale.” In the 1950s, the sum of all human medi-
cal knowledge was on course to double every 50 years. By the 1980s, it was doubling every seven years. By 2010, every three-and-a-half years. Today, in the age of AI, it’s thought to be dou-
bling every 73 days, according to some experts. While only a tiny fraction of that data mass is
relevant to any one patient’s diagnosis and treat- ment, the dawning reality is this: Unless doctors, patients, and AI learn to work together to collab-

The underlying dystopian
co-founder of the Google DeepMind AI laboratory, and the CEO of Microsoft AI, recently warned that unsupervised AI could have a dark side. Speaking on The Diary
of a CEO podcast, Suleyman remarked, “The darkest scenario

fear: that AI could be used to unleash the next COVID-19 pathogen, or perhaps even something far worse. Suleyman’s answer to that
threat is “containment.” “We have to limit access
to the tools and the know- how to carry out that kind of
orate, the hyper-personalized and preventative healthcare that every patient needs and de- serves can never be realized. Among the most promising
immediate targets for an AI health revolution:
WEARABLES In July, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced a na- tional campaign to encourage every American to use a wearable health monitoring device, whether it’s a fitness watch, a wristband, or a ring. “We think that wearables are a key to the
MAHA agenda — Making American Healthy Again,” he said. “My vision is that every Ameri- can is wearing a wearable in four years.” The heart rate information and other data
gathered by fitness trackers can be uploaded to AI systems like Grok AI or ChatGPT. And that means devices like Whoop, Oura Ring 4, smartwatches, Garmin, and Fitbit can be real lifesavers. Just one example: Several devices detect irregu-
lar heartbeats. The alerts they provide are already saving patients from the deadly consequences of heart problems they often never knew they had.
NEW DRUG DISCOVERY AI is also beginning to disrupt the pharmaceuti- cal industry. Able to analyze vast data sets and look for patterns, AI is able to find promising new drug candidates that may have been over-

precursors and other pathogens are restricted, Suleyman suggests there should be restrictions on how much sensitive information is readily available. Of course, some restrictions
already exist. Ask ChatGPT how to make anthrax and it will reply, “Sorry, I can’t help with that request.” But when Newsmax asked
if an evil genius or a rival nation could create an AI to use for
nefarious purposes, it served up a rather different answer. “Yes, that is a valid
concern. An unrestrained or maliciously designed AI could potentially be misused to assist in harmful activities, including the development of dangerous pathogens or other malicious efforts.” It added that “the potential
for misuse underscores the importance of vigilance, oversight, and ethical standards in AI and biotechnology.” — D.P.
