Medical Advances (continued)
multiple 1s and 0 points that these digital machines have to con- sider to carry out any particular command is astronomical in number, and they are miniscule in size. Computer chips today are small but house billions of transistors of microscopic nano- meter size which transmit energy and information through elec- trons at the speed of light. Interestingly, a new study has shown that artificial intelligence machines can interpret radiologic de- terminations and images created by CT better than a radiologist!
There is some discussion about the use of artificial intelligence in the IVF laboratory now. Digitalization helps us in many ways. Will robots and machines replace humanity? No one knows for
sure, but that would be a similar extension of the concerns of Schumacher when he wrote Small is Beautiful. It is remarkable that while big data supplants human tasks in many ways its abil- ity to better our life is clear. Moreover, advances in medicine and genetics to determine genetic causes of diseases and potentially cure them takes us down one of the most natural courses that medicine has ever pursued. We evolved by genetic mechanisms. Artificial Intelligence, technology and genetics are having their impact at submicroscopic levels. Indeed, small can be beautiful!
