Medicine's sacred trust demands human oversight, ethical accountability, and rigorous transparency before surrendering clinical judgment to algorithms.

AI's medical revolution unfolds with breathtaking promise, transforming overlooked scans into life-saving discoveries, democratizing expertise once reserved for elite practitioners, and catching diseases before symptoms emerge. One may envision "free intelligence," making exceptional medical care universally accessible. This isn't a replacement; it's liberationthis technology amplifyingwill amplify human healing capacity beyond traditional limitations into new therapeutic frontiers.
