AI could mean free doctors and lawyers for everybody in 10 years, OpenAI investor Vinod Khosla believes / There will even be a billion bipedal robots in 25 years, Khosla said::undefined
free
Hah
As for AI doctors, I considered it early on but it seems less and less likely with each passing day. A more likely and reasonable outcome would be AI assisted care enabling healthcare providers to care for more people each. Ideally, hospitals and medical networks will run the custom generative tools locally and no patient data will leave the network. Reducing the busy work and admin load might also save money that could be used to hire more HCPs.
Of course, that societal benefit only happens in places where healthcare is not for profit. In places with for profit care, it just flows more money to the investor’s pockets. Given who’s saying this

Even assuming AI is up to the task (which I doubt) . . . Cost of electricity. Cost of server maintenance. Cost of robotics maintenance. Who does this guy expect to fund all of that? Theoretically a government could, I suppose, but that quickly? They’d want to study it to death first. Private enterprise cannot produce an acceptable solution here. I’d rather pay for my lawyer than have LawAI spout off an ad for its will-making services every couple of minutes during our session.
Delusional
Elaborate
Nothing will ever be free. Especially health care and lawyers.
If you ask someone in 1980 if the world’s information would be free and searchable from anywhere, they would refer you to a library. AI is good at distilling complex interlinked data, which is law and medicine. I certainly think we’ll see big changes. Moore’s law has computing power costs halving every 18 months.
It may not be free, but it may be cheap enough that government or insurance pays for visits with no cost and point of access.
It can be cheap enough to become socialised. AI is a means of production. A very efficient one at that. If it is publicly owned (open sourced models being a very good start to it), its effects can be extremely positive.
Lawyers maybe, laws are parseable. Doctors… maybe to assist, but not to replace, humans are analog.
Not even lawyering… Go it in court and watch how lawyers “interpret” law to support their position.
AI will help them write their briefs, perhaps.
