While I am highly sympathetic to the idea of using large-scale analysis of medical data to improve outcomes, anybody who thinks they can fix the American health care system is both naive and egotistical.

&gt;Which got him thinking: What if, instead of guesswork, doctors could lean on generative AI to comb through a patient&#x27;s medical records, along with those of millions of other patients? With such a massive database, doctors could spot the warning signs of disease faster, reduce the need for trial and error, and make better-informed decisions about treatment.<p>Wow, I&#x27;m sure nobody has ever been working on this before... &#x2F;s<p>&gt;That was the promise of Cerner, the medical-records company Oracle bought in 2021 for $28.3 billion — Oracle&#x27;s biggest acquisition.<p>More than Sun Microsystems, seriously?
