AI in healthcare is moving from “people asking chatbots questions” to formal health products that connect records, explain test results, and support clinicians. This video looks at what that could mean -both the upside and the risks - and asks a simple question: how much AI do you actually want involved in your medical care (or your child’s)?
From the optimistic perspective, AI could reduce administrative burden, speed up care, and help patients prepare better for appointments. It could also support research by spotting patterns earlier across large datasets, and potentially make health guidance more accessible through low-cost, multilingual tools.
From the pessimistic perspective, these tools centralize the most intimate data in our lives -diagnoses, lab results, sleep, food, symptoms, and more - inside companies with enormous incentives to monetize. The video explores what privacy promises are worth over time, how partnerships could influence recommendations, and what happens if medical conversations become a new advertising surface.
Then there’s the reliability problem: hallucinations still happen, and in health contexts the consequences are real. The video also looks at how training choices shape outcomes—whose worldview is embedded in “health,” and what gets excluded.
Would you connect your full medical records to an assistant today—yes or no? And what would it need to do to earn your trust? Share your view in the comments.
