there was a lot of talk on the on the flip side on the GDP side what if actually AI can increase productivity
00:00:05
and regrow GDP faster than expectations even taking doctors as an example this new company coming in and developing
00:00:13
kind of a diagnosis engine and already a third of US physicians are on the platform using it you know 10 times a
00:00:20
day to kind of help diagnose you multiply that by the legal profession coding I think we're already seeing what
00:00:27
if we just see an explosion of productivity gains across both the physical and the digital economy the
00:00:32
doctor wants a good example if someone had the opportunity to go get more regular preventative checkups they would
00:00:39
the problem is it's very expensive it's hard to get an appointment or insurance won't cover it but if the cost to a
00:00:45
doctor goes down because they can leverage AI the throughput goes up by 10x they can see 10 times as many
00:00:51
patients per day then suddenly diagnostic care becomes more available they can charge for that they don't need
00:00:58
to charge the same amount the price will come down per checkup more people will be able to get a checkup per day so that
00:01:03
grows GDP in diagnostic
