STAT+: Vinod Khosla predicts AI doctors could be here sooner than you think
“There’s very few physicians who understand what technology can do, and definitely what AI technology can do,” Vinod Khosla said at the #STATBreakthrough Summit.
Sun Microsystems co-founder Vinod Khosla is famous for predictions that have helped usher in the high tech world we live in today — and made him very wealthy in the process. On Wednesday, he made another bold forecast: A fully computerized doctor could be seeing patients before the decade is out.
“Within 5 to 6 years, the FDA will approve a primary care app qualified to practice medicine like your primary care physician,” he said onstage at the STAT Breakthrough Summit in San Francisco.
