STAT's AI Prognosis newsletter argues that the widespread fear of artificial intelligence causing human extinction is too far removed from the current state of health care AI to be discussed in the same breath. The publication, which serves as a subscriber-exclusive guide to AI in medicine, notes that the fervor surrounding these existential risks has continued to build over the last couple of weeks. The newsletter raises specific questions about whether the current discourse is driven by marketing efforts from Anthropic and OpenAI as they prepare to go public. It also asks if recently disclosed AI safety incidents are merely examples of basic incompetence in cybersecurity and infrastructure, packaged to make the technology appear impossibly smart. A further challenge identified by STAT is finding experts who understand AI enough to speak knowledgeably on the topic but lack incentives to frame the discussion in a particular way. In addition to analyzing the AI doomerism debate, the newsletter promotes an essay by trust-in-science reporter Nick Florko. Florko, who has tried diets, supplements, and peptides to address his own health problems, understands the allure of treatments that are not scientifically backed. He writes about doubt, misinformation, and distrust while listening to skeptics. The web edition of AI Prognosis invites non-subscribers to sign up for a truncated version of the guide, which is delivered in subscribers' inboxes every Wednesday. Readers are encouraged to forward the email to friends, coworkers, and buddies to share the content.
