Artificial intelligence presents an extraordinary opportunity and an extraordinary threat. But not in the way that might be expected. Today’s AI is best understood as prediction technology rather than a machine that can do everything humans do.
Prediction technology can nevertheless transform the healthcare industry. It does this by decoupling prediction from the other aspects of decision-making, thereby creating new ways of delivering value. Unleashing this potential requires the invention of new ways of operating, many of which remain undiscovered.
The world sits in a striking phase in the development of this technology, The Between Times after witnessing AI’s potential, but before its widespread impact. On the other side of The Between Times, when this process of invention is complete, the changes in decisions will mean changes in power. For healthcare, this might mean a democratization of access and care. It might also mean disruption to those who benefit from the way the system works.
