Mark Cuban says doctors should be teaching patients how to use AI to help with their treatment
In a series of posts about AI's impacts on healthcare, Cuban said it could be used to replace medical middlemen.
Mark Cuban, a prominent healthcare advocate, has been actively posting about the role of AI in the medical field on X. In his latest series of tweets, Cuban emphasized that AI cannot replace doctors' empathy, judgment, and real-time observation, but doctors should assist patients in using AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok.
Cuban suggested that AI could handle administrative tasks, thereby reducing doctors' workloads. He also pointed out that AI cannot replicate doctors' real-time observation, communication, empathy, and judgment when a patient's condition changes rapidly. Cuban further elaborated that while radiologists cannot be replaced by AI models, which become outdated quickly, AI can help streamline many of the mundane tasks that doctors currently perform due to outdated healthcare conglomerates.
Cuban went on to propose a new role for doctors in an AI-driven healthcare system, where they would assist patients in configuring AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok. These tools would then provide results to the doctors, enabling them to interact with both the patient and the patient's AI.
