London-based artificial intelligence (AI) company says its AI robot doctors can diagnose patients just as well as a human clinician.

Babylon Health has created software that can interpret symptoms and tell a person what might be wrong with them after answering a number of questions.

But general practitioners say while the program has some benefits, it will never replicate the level of care offered by humans.

“What we’re trying to do with Babylon is make healthcare accessible, affordable, put it in the hands of every human being on earth,” Babylon’s founder, Dr Ali Parsa.

He says the app isn’t intended to replace GPs but can be used to free-up already overworked doctors and also help improve waiting times for patients.

  1. I am worried what if one time the robot fails and a wire blows and then the human dies! Doctors will soon get replaced by robots.

  2. I am worried what if one time the robot fails and a wire blows and then the human dies! Doctors will soon get replaced by robots. I think it is a bad idea because more people will become jobless.

  3. I don’t know if this is good or bad… I mean, it’s cool but doctors will have no jobs if robots take over!! Also, what if the robot fails??

  4. Imagine you going to the dr and this weirdo robot comes up to you and says This Way Please

  5. I was thinking of what to type and thought of donuts for some reason ‘-‘
