Love this important new piece by @OpenAI’s incoming CEO of Applications (and former Instacart CEO), @fidjissimo, about the ways in which AI will empower people. And I couldn’t agree more with her about the exciting breakthroughs for AI in healthcare. As Fidji writes, healthcare is also about what happens between doctor visits, and AI can empower people to improve their health by improving their key daily habits: “AI can also make sure that health decisions don’t just happen in the doctor’s office. The biggest levers for preventing disease and optimizing health outcomes—sleep, food, movement, stress management, connection—all depend on everyday habits. AI can help us build those habits through small, achievable, daily steps with personalized, real-time nudges. Beyond diagnostics and accelerated drug development, this is one of the most profound uses of AI in healthcare: an always-on companion that bridges knowledge gaps, reinforces good habits, and empowers people to take charge of their own health with confidence and clarity.” But as Fidji notes, realizing the ultimate possibilities of AI won’t happen on its own: “That’s why we have to be intentional about how we build and share these technologies so they lead to greater opportunity and prosperity for more people.” It’s great to have someone as visionary as Fidji helping to build the AI that can truly empower people to take charge of their health.
