Anyone who thinks this is remotely possible or a good idea has no idea what healthcare providers actually do on a day to day basis- especially in inpatient settings like hospitals
So the question is do the hospital administrators have any idea what healthcare providers actually do on a day to day basis
When it’s gonna cost them $81/hour less per nurse, i don’t think it’s even gonna matter. They’ll let someone else will deal with the fallout
Yeah. Everything is a calculated business decision.
They’ll look at the laws, the penalties, and do whatever they believe will maximize profit.
Boeing did the same thing when they cut corners and killed over 300 people.
Narrator : A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don’t do one.
Woman on Plane : Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents?
Narrator : You wouldn’t believe.
Woman on Plane : Which car company do you work for?
Narrator : A major one.

I agree that nurses are invaluable and irreplaceable and that no AI is going to be able to replicate what a human’s judgement can do. But honestly it’ll be the same as what our hospital’s “nursing line” offers us right now. You call and they ask scripted questions and give you scripted responses which usually ends up with them recommending that you go in. I get that it’s for liability but after 2 calls for our newborn we stopped calling and just started making our own judgement. But for actual inpatient settings? Absolutely no way. There’s no replacement for actual healthcare providers.
Nvidia has never seen a nurse and has no idea what they do
And the private equities that own hospitals will purchase this anyway.
As soon as I work out that my nurse is not a real person, im ending the communication. I am not paying a GPU for healthcare.
Too bad it’s going to be up to your insurance, lol.
Fuck this shitty country and the greedy useful idiots that inhabit it.
I will send forth my own AI avatar to battle the nurse
I wonder if insurance is going to be okay with an AI (famous for never making a mistake /s) being involved in healthcare? If a human nurse makes a mistake the insurance can sue them and their malpractice insurance, if the AI makes a mistake, who can they blame and go after?
If insurance companies refuse to pay for AI nurses, hospitals cant use them?
No, you should start saying nonsense and see what that gets you. “My chicken just coagulated”
I want to replace Nvidia executives with AI for $9/hr. Wait, that’s overkill for those morons.
Garbage… We have had services with real nurses doing telemedicine and it tends to suck
Essentially, the lack of actual information from a video chat (as opposed to an in person meeting), coupled with the “better cover the company’s ass and not get sued”, devolves into every call ending in “better go to the ER to be safe”
Given these things still hallucinate quite frequently I don’t understand how this isn’t a massive risk for Nvidia. I also don’t find it impossible to imagine doctors and patients refusing to go to hospitals or clinics with these implemented.
Oh, they don’t want to automate the risk ofc. Just the profitable bits of nursing and then have one nurse left that does all the risk based stuff
nice, automated medical racism
I foresee no problems with this plan. Surely this won’t result in a string of completely avoidable deaths.
Of course we should! We replaced our doctors with hourly rentable books back when that tech became popular. /s
I wish we had a way of leveraging these technologies minus capitalism. AI could solve a lot of problems and offer interesting information to real people, but the greedy bitches at the top are just going to use it as a way to finish off the middle class.
I long for the world of Star Trek where our needs are met and we can focus on our lives and interests, but I am too cynical to think that will ever be allowed by the people who run things and their addiction to profit.
If nothing else it would be fucking hilarious observing the interaction between a state of the art LLM with ML baked into it and an 80 y/o grandpa who just shit his pants and needs help
I have been in and out of medical settings a lot in my life, especially lately, and nurses are amazing. They do so much more than doctors to make you feel at ease and spend more time with you than the 5 minutes the doctor usually does.
So thanks so fucking much, Nvidia.
I’ll be scared if these ai nurses are able to draw blood
AI cant even draw hands, I think we’re a long ways off from that.
wait isn’t this old news? I could’ve sworn that this stuff was being talked about back in the early 2010s because it can help point stuff out to doctors. Or are they trying to 100% nurses instead of just using these systems as an aid?
Different news, they’re trying to replace nurses for 1/10 of the price. It’s a short article, give it a gander!
Yes, let me pay for the privilege of using an automated lying machine that has a high probability of getting me killed due to faulty medical advice. I don’t see what could possibly go wrong with this.
