In this presentation, Dr. Louis Fouché, an intensivist with expertise in ethics and anthropology of health, delves into the philosophical and ethical aspects of the technological disruption brought about by artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of medicine. The presentation is divided into several slides, each addressing different dimensions of the impact of AI on healthcare.
Slide I: Introduction Dr. Fouché expresses gratitude to the organizers and acknowledges the painting displayed, generated by a Midjourney generative AI. The artwork's controversy prompts a question: who truly won, the artist or the AI?
Slide II-III: Speaker's Background and Disclaimer Dr. Fouché introduces himself, highlighting his expertise in medical ethics and anthropology. He emphasizes his independence from public political affiliations and asserts that he speaks in his own capacity.
Slide IV-V: Personal Experience with AI The speaker acknowledges personal use of AI applications, including experimenting with the ChatGPT chat box. He raises a thought-provoking question about AI already being integrated into human existence.
Slide V-VI: Perspectives on AI Dr. Fouché outlines the contrasting views on AI. Optimists view AI as a cultural revolution, enhancing medicine, while pessimists see it as a tool for self-destruction, drawing parallels with historical hubris and nemesis. Slide VII-VIII: Harsh Push of AI Technology The presentation highlights the aggressive promotion of AI and digitalization, drawing comparisons with Orwellian concepts like the "telescreen." Generative AI, using probabilistic models, presents a challenge regarding data ownership.
Slide IX: Propaganda in Medicine The speaker notes a surge in articles related to AI and medicine, emphasizing the pervasive influence of digital technology in research funding.
Slide X-XV: AI Medical Applications A list of AI medical applications generated through ChatGPT is presented, ranging from administrative tasks to surgery and mental health treatment. Slide XVI-XVIII: Impact on Doctors The prophecy that AI won't replace doctors but those using AI will replace those who don't is discussed. The JAMA Internal Medicine article comparing physicians to AI in terms of empathy raises concerns about the narrative intending to expropriate healthcare decision-making.
Slide XIX-XX: Shock Doctrine in Medicine The speaker introduces the concept of a shock doctrine imposed on medicine through AI, paralleling it with historical shock strategies described by Naomi Klein. Slide XXI-XXIII: Cybernetics and Control The role of cybernetics in AI development is explained, emphasizing its historical and ideological roots in controlling and optimizing systems.
Slide XXIV-XXVI: Transformation into Data The transformation of the world into data is discussed, with a focus on the quantified self in medicine and the potential loss of human interpretive capacity.
Slide XXVII-XXVIII: Epistemological Disruption The disruption in epistemology due to AI and big data steering is explored, questioning the reliability of cross-correlated information and the role of gatekeepers.
Slide XXIX-XXX: Fear of AI and Disruption The recent narrative shift, with tech leaders expressing regret over AI, is examined. The speaker questions whether this fear narrative is a deliberate strategy to justify regulation and control.
Slide XXXI: European Commission Regulation The European Commission's regulation on AI is discussed, with a cautionary tone about its potential consequences on democratic regulations. Conclusion: Path for Resistance Dr. Fouché concludes by pondering whether humanity is already becoming transhumanistic avatars. He urges resistance to technocracy and advocates for embracing human frailty, freedom, and responsibility. Final Thoughts: The presentation serves as a comprehensive exploration of the ethical, philosophical, and societal implications of AI in medicine, urging the audience to critically assess the impact of technology on humanity and advocate for responsible and ethical use.
