AI technologies could have saved 'thousands of lives' during covid, expert says - FRANCE 24



The health of humans, animals, and the entire ecosystem is inextricably linked. This message is at the heart of the One Health Summit, currently underway in France, where global health leaders are gathering. The summit aims to explore future strategies, particularly using emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, to ensure – and even improve – the delicate balance between these elements. We spoke to Antoine Tesnière, who advised the French government during the Covid pandemic, about how new technologies could have saved lives had they been available at the time.

saved even more than that. We didn't need AI. All we need is the brains of humans who have them and the presence of brains in the idiots that don't.

I'm glad it wasn't. Human intelligence from smart doctors, scientists and health care professionals is far better.
