As a tech justice + human rights org, what we’ve seen in RFK Jr. ’s confirmation hearings so far
has confirmed our worst fears.

Discussion
RFK Jr. has proposed cutting healthcare costs by introducing “AI nurses,”- tech he has said is “as good as any doctor.”https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/watch-rfk-jr-says-ai-nurse-that-diagnoses-as-good
AI is getting to the point where it can more accurately diagnose people than people can. As the list of diagnoses grows, medical knowledge becomes too large for any one person to fully comprehend all the time. I don't like RFK, but this idea itself is not crazy, especially when we have a declining population and exploding healthcare costs.
