  • Medical charlatans have existed through history. But AI has turbocharged them | Edna Bonhomme

    When AI is (badly) informing health policy and enabling bad actors, it’s time to regulate the tech companiesNearly a year into parenting, I’ve relied on advice and tricks to keep my baby alive and entertained. For the most part, he’s been agile and vivacious, and I’m beginning to see an inquisitive character develop from the lump of coal that would suckle from my breast.
