What do you think? Are people starting to have those conversations with their doctors? And what does that look like?

Patients still come in and tell us what they have.

And that's okay.

That is a good thing.

And what I would say is really where the patient visit starts is before the actual patient visit.

So what they've done is in the past, you're right, they would go to places like WebMD and they still do.

and other websites and information they put in Google.

You've had this amazing medical career to go with leadership career.

What do you make of that for medicine, where we're going to end up with some mix, and what's the safest thing for patients?

There are so many things wrong with what Zeke said, particularly how he described the current state of evidence.

And even on the autonomous car example, I'll just give an anecdote, which isn't the rigor that we want when we talk about AI.

I got in a Waymo a couple months ago.

It dropped me off at the wrong destination, five blocks away.

So it didn't actually do fundamentally what it was supposed to do.

But if you want to judge it by I didn't get in an accident, it did.

So, John, what do you make of that? How do you think LLMs can be helpful? Do you still think they're dangerous to be used by patients on their own without supervision from a physician? And is it better than the alternative, which is that we have to ask our friends, like ask Google? What do you think is the right thing in these scenarios?

[upbeat music] In this environment, um, do you see a path where C-Congress or are any, any leaders in the White House are gonna actually demand the kind of transparency and clarity of the separation between the human and the machine that you're looking for?

You know, right now the focus typically of the administration is not to have too much regulation.

And there's always a debate, do you regulate before you try, or do you try before you regulate, right? We wanna promote innovation, but we also wanna protect against potential harm.

So where we have focused a bit is where is our common ground on regulation? So for chatbots, it's particularly there for minors, right? They, their emotional intelligence is, is not the same as an adult.

So we should have disclosure, we should have transparency.

We should have escalation that if they're expressing suicidal ideations, that they're connected to a real-life health professional.

I'd like to see industry come together and really adopt responsible use of AI.

How do the states fit in with that? Is federal preemption essentially required, or is s-states also a, a relevant pathway?

Is this really

an issue today? Yeah.

Absolutely.

And all of us have used chatbots in other areas of our life when we're trying to return a package or complain to the airlines.

And I'm going to be honest, I've used them.

And sometimes I'm like, I'm not sure if I'm talking to a human or not.

That's how good they've gotten.

So where do we stand now in terms of physician workforce and where do we take it with AI?

How do the states fit in with that? Is federal preemption essentially required or is states also a relevant pathway?

Well, you alluded to there is an executive order that apparently preempts states from getting involved.

I'm not sure if all the states have been listening to that because you've given some examples where states have gotten involved.

And the challenge with that potentially is you could have 50 states with 50 different policies.

I'm not sure that's helpful to the medical community or to the patient community.

So we want to work with the states.

And states ultimately are the practice of medicine.

So where do we stand now in terms of physician workforce and where do we take it with AI?

And now our TED Talk of the day.

It's human nature.

We all have searched for symptoms that we might be having.

Maybe it's a, a mole on our skin, a cough that we're experiencing, or a headache.

And what happens? After 10 minutes, we don't become more clear on what we might be having.

We're more confused and more concerned.

So we're talking about joy, but then how can we have joy when we're searching about our health and we're having some of these challenges? And as I said, we all do it.

[laughing]

Are there enough resources to kind of shelter people properly? Yeah.

Again, what I've mentioned is that we have thousands of tents.

We had 200 and almost a quarter of a million tarpaulins.

We have all of these supplies stuck outside, which we have been working to bring in.

Other agencies are trying to bring in their supplies, but they are not coming in at the level or scale that's needed.

Now, they were handed out previously, but you can imagine if people have been uprooted and had to resettle multiple times due to military evacuation orders, due to displacements.

from north to south to south to middle, middle.

Other agencies, are they feeling any degree of pressure as well?

How significant is this ruling by the International Court of Justice? given that Israel are unlikely to accept any ruling from the ICJ.

Yes, good morning, Shane.

It is significant for sure because since this war began, Israel has been levelling unsubstantiated allegations against UNRWA and seeking at every turn to try and undermine its work in Gaza in support of Palestinian refugees.

So this ruling vindicates UNRWA's position that there has been no substantial allegations that can be confirmed against UNRWA.

that it also confirms that UNRWA's role is indispensable in terms of the delivery of humanitarian aid and that the claims that it's not a neutral organisation are totally unfounded or without substance.

In terms of facilitating the legal obligation to facilitate delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, do you expect, given what we know of what's happened over the last year, do you expect Israel to comply with that?

I think they already came out very quickly out of the traps to reject this opinion and to, you know, criticise the UN as they always do and to criticise the ICJ.

So we don't expect that there will be any significant change on their part.
