The good news is that Watson and its successors are how you solve the "healthcare crisis". Watson-like technology will enable computers to outperform 99% of all doctors for routine healthcare screening within a few years. The result is that 90%+ of all routine doctor office visits could be eliminated within a decade.

For those requiring treatment, robo-surgeons will again cover 90%+ of all outpatient care.

While I think that sounds great, I surely hope someone is looking into how to hardwire the 3 laws of robotics into all the AIs.

And how often will the AI decide we’re way cheaper just dead?
