How AI Can Supercharge GDP and Bring Down Costs in the Medical Field

On E232, Thomas Laffont explained how at a recent event he hosted, there was a lot of talk about AI having a more positive impact on GDP than previously thought.

"There was a lot of talk on the GDP side, what if AI can increase productivity and regrow GDP faster than expectations?"

He gave an example of doctors using an AI tool to 10x productivity:

"Even taking doctors as an example, this new company comes in and develops kind of a diagnosis engine."

"And already a third of US physicians are on the platform using it 10x a day to help diagnoses."

"You multiply that by the legal profession, coding I think we're already seeing."

"What if we just see an explosion of productivity gains across both the physical and the digital economy?"

Friedberg broke down how this could also increase patient access and reduce costs while growing GDP:

"The doctor one is a good example. If someone had the opportunity to go get more regular preventative checkups, they would."

"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 doctor goes down because they can leverage AI, the throughput goes up by 10x."

"They can see 10x as many patients per day. Then suddenly diagnostic care becomes more available."

"They can charge for that. They don't need 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 grows GDP in diagnostic care."

We spent the last two weeks sounding the alarm on purchases of defense stocks by politicians on armed services committees.

The US just carried out strikes on Iran.

Regardless of opinions on the attack, I think most would agree that Congress should not be trading defense stocks. https://t.co/cXFXZStzRT

BREAKING: Chuck Schumer has said that Congress must vote on the War Powers Act.

Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie have introduced a resolution in the House.

It would force members of Congress to go on the record as being in support or opposition to war in Iran.

Good call!

🚨 This 'trade war' will be over soon!

Why? Simple. Just follow the money.

A substantial percentage of most US retailers' products, especially on the more affordable end, are sourced in China.

Walmart is a great example, being the largest of them all and also sourcing a disproportionate amount from China.

Both sides will ultimately settle and settle soon. Not at zero but at a reasonable tariff which, from the perspective of the US, is also justified considering the various trade obstacles China has put in place.

In return, China will help with Russia and avoid domestic tensions from weaker manufacturing. Never forget: the one thing a 'communist' government cannot afford is social unrest.

So, don't get too obsessed with the current trade skirmish and focus on the bigger picture.

And enjoy the sunshine...
