From here to the next 10 years or so, the bet is on Medical-Help. Almost every country in the world is struggling with constant under-staffing, populations are growing older, while pay for Nurses is going down. Now with AI technologies becoming more and more reliable, the biggest pain point to solve is Healthcare.

At least in the US, a nurse has personal liability for a mistake.

A hallucination could not just be career/license ending but land the nurse in jail.

Even with 100% accuracy, is not entirely obvious to me how a nurse could leverage a language model to make their job that much easier.

A language model is not going to bath or dress someone.

"AI" (hallucinating LLMs) "solving" healthcare. One can just hope the VC money is not big enough for that horror show.
That GP on their second 48h shift might not be hallucination free either. The question is what we can fix first, the medical resource crunch or LLM confabulation.
