AI "Godfather" Hinton recently stated: healthcare is the only industry immune to AI.

His logic is straightforward - the demand for healthcare is limitless (reducing costs can expand supply fivefold), and it cannot be solved simply by pattern recognition. Diagnosis requires human judgment, ethical considerations, and interaction with patients, which AI cannot handle in the short term.

But don't be too optimistic. Hinton admits that AI will cut in from the margins: tasks like diagnostic assistance, administrative paperwork, remote monitoring, and personalized plans will indeed be taken over by AI. The role of doctors will change—from repetitive diagnosis to complex decision-making and supervision.

The core contradiction is: Hinton also warns that AI will exacerbate wealth inequality and lead to massive unemployment. Healthcare is relatively safe, but not absolutely safe. The real issue may not be AI itself, but rather how capital uses AI.
