The AI CEO: Why Dr. Mitchell Katz Should Replace Himself Before He Replaces Radiologists

By Waseem Ullah, MD | Healthcare Leadership & Policy Last week, Dr. Mitchell Katz, CEO of NYC Health + Hospitals, stood before a Crain’s New York Business audience and made a declaration disguised as a dilemma.

It’s a funny article, but in reality all of this AI business is horrific.

Dr Katz is delusional. Highly agree with replacing ceos with AI

AI is sloshing in money but much of it is a circle jerk. I have a young relative who just took a leave of absence from college to join an AI startup. The startup uses AI to recruit engineers for um….other AI companies. Their goal is to be acquired by a larger more established AI recruiting company or to be acquired by a behemoth professional networking site and be killed. The irony is that the founders did not use AI to find, recruit, and hire my relative. They met him at a poker game. Even the AI guys are cynical about AI. They just want to mine the mother lode and exit but boomer CEOs like Dr Katz are buying the pitch.

Maybe they should replace the staff with AI, nyc health and hospitals have the worst

Will be very interesting to see if the idea of supplanting/augmenting healthcare admin roles with AI gains any traction. He is absolutely correct, much easier to do and it makes more sense (assuming one can trust AI to not hallucinate and submarine healthcare systems).

Just think of the millions of dollars saved by not having to pay C-suite B-school salaries & severance packages

Performing administrative tasks better and more efficiently than humans is arguably AI’s greatest strength at present.

This made the most sense.

When I saw Katz's statement about wanting to replace radiologists, I thought why wouldn't you just replace the horde of useless Vice presidents etc even the CEO position.

Your typical hospital administrator is low IQ with an online MBA. Not exactly hard to replace that brainpower with minimal liability.

The only way I'd want to invest in AI is to invest in non-AI companies using it for nefarious and dystopian purposes, because odds are that's all it's going to be good for in our lifetimes.

For example defense contractors making autonomous weapon systems, companies that specialize in surveillance and intrusive data mining, customer service companies that specialize in denying actual customer service, social media companies looking for more effective and personalized ragebait, porn sites specializing in celebrity deepfakes.

Maybe with a side of the chip/hardware companies making the shovels for this gold rush ...

AI can’t ever replace the human factor

Isnt that what high frequency Wall Street trading based on computer algorithms except when the system gets overloaded. They are f’d.
