RFK Jr. Says AI Can ‘Free Us From Medical Tyranny’ And Is ‘Better Informed’ Than Doctors
Kennedy said AI can give patients a better-informed second opinion and warned doctors should check it before making diagnoses or prescriptions.
- On Tuesday, Health Secretary Robert Kennedy told the Make America Healthy Again Summit that doctors should check artificial intelligence before diagnosing patients, citing OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's claim that ignoring AI constitutes "malpractice."
- Artificial intelligence was the primary focal point of the Make America Healthy Again Summit, which received sponsorship from major AI firms including OpenAI and Anthropic, reflecting a corporate shift within the movement.
- Kennedy argued that AI can distill lengthy medical records better than doctors, who have only "six minutes" per patient, and could offer a "second opinion that is much better informed than any doctor in the country."
- Kennedy's remarks drew criticism from medical professionals, including Dr. Joe Pierre, a psychiatry professor at the University of California San Francisco, while ChatGPT responded that evidence does not establish AI is more reliable than doctors.
- President Donald Trump and other administration officials are promoting AI adoption broadly, though pending lawsuits against OpenAI over catastrophic medical outcomes highlight significant risks of relying on technology for critical health decisions.
