When you think of artificial intelligence (AI), you might not immediately think of the healthcare sector. However, that would be a mistake.

#artificialintelligence

Siri, do you believe in God? Siri, do you believe in God? Siri, I insist, do you believe in God? "I would ask that you address your spiritual questions to someone more qualified to comment. She – is it a she? – has a point: artificial intelligences (AI) like Siri are less situated than humans to answer questions about religion and spirituality. Existential angst, ethical inquiries, theological considerations: these belong exclusively to the domain of Homo Sapiens. But some futurists and tech experts predict a not-so-distant future in which AI, having achieved a certain indistinguishability from humans, will be truly intelligent.
