James Dias wrote an article titled, "6 Big Benefits of Applying Automation to Healthcare in 2014". He first goes on to describe why the industry of healthcare is inefficient and how this will later snowball into a bigger catastrophe. Dias later backs up this claim, "In the July/August 2009 issue of Health Affairs, Dr. Peter Buerhaus and coauthors found that despite the current easing of the nursing shortage due to the recession, the U.S. nursing shortage is projected to grow to 260,000 registered nurses by 2025." Although automation would essentially fill some of these jobs, automation needs to fill them. I am not afraid to use automation to the world's advantage especially since the human life expectancy is growing along with the progress of automation. Dias then states his "six-key benefits: labor savings, improved quality and consistency, reduced waste, increased predictability of outcomes, higher throughput, and data-driven insights." Healthcare will hopefully utilize and embrace this new technology because not only will it help us, but our lives will soon depend on it for an effective healthcare system. Maybe it is not only our government robbing us from a proper regulated healthcare plan, plus our lack of automating care facilities even further. Medicine may be modernized, but the tools in the work place have not yet caught …show more content…
The Turing Test is a test by Allan Turing in the 1950s. It is the ability of a machine to indicate intelligent behavior indistinguishable from a human. The Turing Test has developed incredibly. Now many people with cell phones around the world get calls sporadically from a robot. The call may only be about mindless adds, or winning a fake vacation, but some people are falling for it today. I think a substantial amount of those people are the elderly. My grandmother has a friend that is also in her 70s and she once wired money to the company, not knowing it was indeed just a robot. Although the voice of a human may be replicable, the hospitality and mannerisms have not been perfected. A Turing Test website titled the "Alan Turing Internet Scrapbook" argues, "human-like interaction is seen as absolutely essential to human-like intelligence. A successful AI is worthless if its intelligence lies trapped in an unresponsive program"(1). I think this explains clearly why nursing only has a 1% chance of becoming automated because the critical problem-solving function remains unreachable by our new robotic
