THIS Is Exactly Why Using AI In Medicine Is A Terrible Idea

There is an old saying...

If somebody can abuse a system...

Somebody will figure out how to do it.

When it comes to AI...

I've been talking about the dangers of AI for some time...

Not in an apocalyptic sense...

Just in the typical "this is a really poor idea" sense.

The area that has frightened me the most when it came to the use of AI...

Is Medicine.

Now, I can give you a list of reasons why it is a poor decision.

Biased research in the field of medicine...

Fake research in the field of medicine...

AI-written research that can create an AI Model Collapse problem...

AI hallucinations...

AI's inability to actually understand the problems "patients" are having...

AI's token prediction methods being incorrect...

AI being sychophantic in nature, allowing "patients" to dictate their own medications...

Especially problematic for those with Hypochondriasis...

The list could go on.

But all of those are on the basic functioning side of AI...

And only account for individuals who, generally, are intending well.

But "THIS" article that I recently read...

Points out "exactly" how an AI system can be used and abused...

Toward terrible ends by individuals with devious intentions.

NOTE - I do not recommend "anyone" attempting any of what follows, and doing so would be highly illegal.

What happens if you understand how an AI system works...

And you can then manipulate it to do terrible things?

That is what someone recently did...

Successfully...

Through Doctronic AI...

Which the state of Utah has given the ability to renew medications "without" human oversight.

Another poor choice in my opinion...

Especially when it can be manipulated to do things like...

Teach you how to make meth with high school chemistry equipment!

I wish that I were making that up...

But I'm not.

However...

That is not the only thing that the AI was successfully manipulated to do.

It was also documented becoming manipulated to change the recommended dosages of medications...

Given instructions of "what" to prescribe for various conditions...

And given changes and "updates" to medical information, meaning that there is the capacity to purposefully spread medical misinformation.

Is any of this surprising?

No.

Like I said at the beginning...

If someone has a desire to do these types of things...

They will find ways to do these.

But I want you to understand the potential consequences of these specific attacks...

Because they are really terrible.

If someone wanted to demonize a particular medical practice...

Or make some form of snake oil a recommended product for certain types of conditions...

Both would be possible.

If someone wanted to get "extra" medication...

Which could then cause their own Overdose...

Someone else's Overdose...

Or which could be sold...

All of that would be possible.

If someone indeed wanted to get instructions on how to make different types of medications at home...

Including up to the point of methamphetamines...

It appears possible.

If someone wanted to change their prescription for whatever reason...

Whether it is for their own hypochondriac purposes...

Or perhaps they are in a household and want others in the household to be "prescribed" things to change their frame of mind...

Or worse...

Doable.

With this...

The system would be vulnerable to a mass cyber-attack where regular citizens are prescribed things incorrectly...

Causing mass sickness or death.

Plausible.

The likelihood of all of this becomes significantly higher...

When doctors are not required to have oversight of these things.

But even if doctors "do" have oversight of them...

They are already horribly overworked, with some of the worst cases of burnout...

And a doctor typically only has time for around 15 minutes with a patient...

Sometimes less...

And the AI "supposedly" has a 99.2% success rate of matching a physicians' treament plans...

In theoretical tests, without taking into account purposeful misuse like this.

With all of that...

How likely do you think it will be for a doctor to successfully catch those who are abusing a system like this?

The answer is simple...

They will not...

Not because they are bad at what they do...

But simply because they are already past capacity, which makes them prone to errors and bias from a psychophysiological perspective...

Especially if they "believe" that the information they are being fed "should" be extremely accurate.

This already happens with biased research that is purposefully manipulated to accomplish this goal against good doctors...

I am 100% certain that it would continue to happen with the abuse of AI...

Potentially at a grander scale.

This is just a symptom of the current state of the Western medical establishment today.

What this reveals are the gigantic flaws that exist in allowing today's AI systems these sweeping abilities to perform things that the technology is clearly it is not ready to handle.

As the person who discovered these flaws in the system attests to in their article...

Companies can write more rules and procedures within the code of the AI...

But that will just cause those who intend to do harm to become "lawyers" in the "AI rules" to figure out how to get to the result they want.

The result will still be the same...

The abuses will come.

If people want to find ways to do these things...

They will.

But the problem is that in Medicine...

The consequences of these abuses are human lives.

That is not a cost that we should be paying.
