In this brief dialogue, Speaker A points out that despite clinicians’ complaints, the healthcare system has largely completed its transition to electronic medical records (EMRs), suggesting that resistance to a superior AI system will be unlikely. Speaker B counters that the highly regulated nature of medicine will provoke a strong backlash against powerful AI, citing Texas’s recent ban on telemedicine as an example of regulatory overreach. He likens the healthcare sector’s defensive response to an “immune system” that is among the most resistant to change, ranking it just behind religion, education, and academia. The exchange highlights the tension between inevitable technological adoption and institutional resistance within healthcare.

Chapters

If you look at what happened with the broad transition to electronic medical records, every clinician that you speak with, they'll complain about EMRs, and yet every major medical system is either completed or is in the late stages of, at least in this country, their EMR transition. If they can't resist EMRs, how are they going to resist strong AI that outperforms humans?
On the other hand, you're going to get a huge backlash here. This is a very regulated industry. Remember a few years ago, Texas passed a law banning telemedicine. Just outright banning it because, you know, for every spot on my hand, I must have to go to a physical doctor. I can never do that over video. So the immune system response is going to be very, very fierce. I expect to see this battle play out heavily over the next few years. And healthcare has the third worst immune system ever behind religion and education and academia.
