GoKawiilAMA CEO disputes JAMA paper claiming AI already outperforms doctors
A paper published in JAMA this month, authored by bioethicist Ezekiel Emanuel and venture capitalist Vinod Khosla, argues that AI is already surpassing physicians at core clinical tasks like gathering patient information, diagnosing conditions, and managing chronic disease, and predicts fully AI-run care will soon beat human-only or hybrid care. American Medical Association CEO John Whyte pushed back, telling Wired that many cited studies relied on simulations rather than blinded trials and that contradictory evidence, including a Nature study on patients struggling to use chatbots, undermines the paper's conclusions.
