The AI revolution is a health revolution above all else.

I don't think we really appreciate how much the majority of chronic health conditions in humans aren't fixed yet not because we lack the technology to fix them, but because it would require an amount of experimentation, data gathering, and funding that is simply astronomical with current methods.<br><br>\--------------<br><br>Depression, let's say. The brain is an organ with billions of different cells with billions of different interactions. And that's just the biological part. Once the environment, lifestyle, upbringing, and genetics come into play, it's impossible for us to currently give a very tailored and personalized cure for depression with absolute certainty. So doctors give you some standard treatment and therapy and the patient is often left to their own devices to go through a rigorous and iterative process of trial and error with different treatments and self experimentation, sometimes for their entire lifetimes. <br><br>This is the case for countless other chronic health issues. Diabetes, heart problems, insomnia, anxiety, back pain, carpel tunnel, fibromyalgia. These issues are so painstakingly hard to fix because it's very hard to have an unbiased, systematic, and most of all, very patient approach to verifying and confirming what works and what doesn't. Animals can't be used to test these diseases because they have completely different biologies and brain chemistries from ours, making it impossible to get any real insight as to how a treatment would work on humans. <br><br>But AI changes all of this. With infinite patience and tireless persistence, AI can crunch through billions of possible combinations of treatments and their interactions with billions of different kinds of patient profiles. What would have been a super impossible task for humans to do is now feasible. And not only that, but the information and data doesn't even need to be gathered by hand. An AI can just scrape through endless amounts of online medical journals, studies, and papers, and then match and correlate that data with millions of patient profiles in an instant, and provide a completely unbiased, systematic, and most of all, patient and methodical approach to understanding and finding cures for chronic conditions with absolute certainty. <br><br>Of course, there's still the problem of getting the evidence to verify all this, but once we are able to crack that hurdle, I have no doubt that chronic health conditions will dramatically decrease from this point on. And I think that's something we overlook when talking about the applications of AI. It will have an incalculably beneficial and transformative effect on human health.
