Will AI replace healthcare professionals? Here is an AI robot on its first day working in a hospital after finding out that: • the EHR needs 17 clicks to order one test   • the medication list is different in three systems   • interoperability sometimes means making a phone call   • and fax machines are still critical infrastructure   What else? The video is obviously AI-made.

How to Speak Machine ↔ How to Speak Human --- "We are no longer designing better ways for humans to talk to machines. Now we’re designing for machines to understand humans." 👇

Skype had the lead. It had the infrastructure. It had the moment. And then it missed their competitors’ approach to innovation. A powerful reminder: if you don't disrupt yourself and reinvent, someone will do it for you.
