Being a doctor is one of the jobs expected to be least at risk from AI replacement. But a new program launched in Utah is raising questions over that assumption. A healthcare startup will begin offering AI examinations and prescriptions to patients without direct human oversight, making Utah the first state to replace a doctor with an AI.
The good news is that the program is currently very limited in its scope. It’s just one year long and only for patients with mild-to-moderate acne.
The process works when a person signs up for Nolla Health’s $4.99-per-month app and uses it to scan their face. After completing a medical history and personal information form, the AI analyzes their skin, identifies the acne problem, rates the skin’s oiliness, and then generates a numerical acne severity score that ranges between clear skin and severe acne, reports Bloomberg.
I thought that Utah was supposed to be super-conservative…
Oh Utah. You so stupid

I’m not saying Doc LLM won’t do that, but the trial’s intention is to limit it to choosing between 8 different topical creams for acne. Still a bad idea.
Kids going to be jailbreaking their doctor and ordering goofy pills smdh
The only thing they taught it how to do was to deny gender-affirming care.

Acne is like cement scrapes/burns… Any/all genders prefer not to have it.
Goofy fucking mormons…
Eventually this is all your insurance will cover.
Can’t wait to see how pharmaceutical ads/reps factor into these.
They’ll just make spam subs on reddit to get the keywords in training data.

Why!? This is fucking bonkers!
feels like they just want our faces for some book or whatever

Ah, a prescription for your acne! And all it costs is feeding ALL of your information into the Information Stealing Machine. And also $4.99/mo.
Oh, okay, that sounds like a good way to get away with fucking up by blaming it on the AI, and no one gets held accountable for prescribing little Timmy a lethal dose of death juice or whatever.
It’s almost as if these people don’t care at all
Bruh.
I really hate all the face scanning shit.
Biometrics for passwords are already bad. Imagine a wonderful world where “Reset my Advertising ID” means extensive plastic surgery.
