Artifical intelligence “is all around us,” says Harry Glorikian, author of “The Future You: How Artificial Intelligence (AI) Can Help You Get Healthier, Stress Less, and Live Longer” (Amazon).
Glorikian, who has been an advisor, investor, and partner in healthcare companies, details in his book how doctors are treating once-incurable diseases by rewriting DNA, how AI is helping them diagnose cancer more precisely, and how people (maybe you, too) used smartphones and smartwatches to reach health and fitness goals and sometimes survive a health emergency.
He notes scientists used AI to develop COVID vaccines at record speed and repurpose existing drugs to fight the virus—and how, he says, AI will help identify future outbreaks more rapidly.
There’s nothing about health and wellness that won’t be transformed by AI that’s either already here or coming. Self-driving cars. Smart personal assistants—think Siri, Cortana, or Google Now—or Alexa, Amazon’s cloud-based voice service that is available on literally hundreds of millions of devices. Voice-to-text. Manufacturing robots. Facial recognition software. Security surveillance. Automated financial investing and social media monitoring. Smart homes that control themselves when their owners are out of town. “The list is endless,” Glorkian avows.
