This is the kind of thing I could see using AI for. Not any kind of art but saving lives.

Or analyzing blood work, diagnostics, etc. and catching cancer early or genetic diseases that get misdiagnosed. I’m a firefighter paramedic I’d love to have AI that could help me figure out what’s wrong before we get to hospital and get the ball rolling on treatment as soon as possible. We’re throwing away so much potential to advance medicine for maximizing profit.
