you trust an AI to diagnose you.
00:03
Today, we trust AIs to fly planes.
00:06
When you get on an airplane, typically the AI is flying it.
00:08
The computer is flying it.
00:10
To me, I think the role of AI in medicine
00:12
is really about augmenting what doctors do.
00:15
I don't believe that an AI can actually
00:17
replace a doctor, because there's a human element.
00:20
When you go into a clinic, most doctors
00:22
will tell you there's patients that lie all the time.
00:26
When you go into a clinic and you see your doctor,
00:29
and your doctor goes, have you been drinking?
00:31
You're going to say no.
00:33
Now, an AI is not going to know that you're lying,
00:37
because the AI only knows what you tell it.
00:39
But a doctor reads body language.
00:42
He looks at your family.
00:44
He sees the body language of everybody around you.
00:46
And for me, that's really where AI plays a role.
00:49
It's not to replace the doctor, but it's
00:52
to take all the things that a doctor does,
00:54
which they really don't have to do,
00:56
and figure out how to automate that.
00:58
So one of the ways that we do this
01:00
is we use AI to actually power chat apps.
01:02
And the reason why we power chat apps,
01:03
because everybody has WhatsApp, Facebook, Line, Telegram.
01:07
We don't need you to download another app.
01:10
But we can actually use AI to power chat apps and scale
01:14
that all around the world.
01:16
We talk about access.
01:17
Everybody has phones.
01:18
And if you look at every single country in this region,
01:22
one of the things that keeps growing year after year
01:26
is internet.
01:27
Right?
01:27
I go to the Philippines.
01:28
There's like 80 million people in the Philippines
01:30
with Facebook.
01:32
Indonesia, 190 million people out of 280 have WhatsApp.
01:37
So for me, that's really how we can marry tech and health
01:41
to really reach more people.
01:44
more people.
