""If as a doctor, you're not using one or more frontier models as a second opinion, my belief is you're bordering on committing malpractice. These AI systems, even though many of them are not specifically trained for medicine, have ingested trillion-plus words of information. As a second opinion, it is bringing superpowers that no human being has.""
"Hoffman argues that rather than outsourcing critical thinking capabilities to AI models, people should use them as an additional source of information, which could prevent misdiagnosis. He personally uses frontier models as a second opinion for his health issues and encourages his concierge doctors to do the same."
Reid Hoffman, cofounder of LinkedIn, is focusing on healthcare with his startup Manas AI, which aims to accelerate drug discovery for cancers. The goal is to reduce the drug discovery timeline from a decade to a few years. Hoffman advocates for the use of frontier AI models in healthcare, suggesting they should serve as second opinions for doctors. He believes these models can provide critical insights that may prevent misdiagnosis, despite concerns about their accuracy in medical advice.
