The AI pseudo-revolution in medicine isn’t the seismic shift many expected. It’s mostly small tweaks, not deep change, says a longtime medicine and AI researcher.

This slow evolution challenges the narrative that AI will overhaul healthcare overnight. Instead, it nudges the system forward step-by-step with limited scope for now.
