At MakeUsWell, we strive to educate users on how to improve their ability to self-manage their health and more intelligently partner with health professionals. We emphasize partnering with knowledgeable professionals, not replacing them.

Artificial intelligence can help us manage our health, when we assess food additives, over-the-counter medications, supplements, and adverse interactions among them. We inevitably have to address how to evaluate the underlying research. 

Identifying peer-reviewed research from authoritative sources in reputable journals is not enough. Research can fail at several levels—even with the elaborate peer review processes.

Today, we are discussing one big health management issue. As consumers of foods, beverages, over-the-counter medications, and a wide range of supplements, how can AI aid in the process of ensuring that we are putting the right things into our bodies at the right time and in the right ways?  

The first priority is to make sure that, whether we are using human intelligence, AI, or a combination of both, we are using authoritative sources. Any AI platform focused on health-related advice also has to be based firmly on authoritative, unassailable sources. Uncontrolled use of, or faith in, AI can easily lead users to sources with credible, but wrong or unsupported, information. Researchers are held to a high standard in peer-reviewed articles. AI’s output must draw on the same sources and be held to the same standards as humans.

Hi MakeUsWell Community,

When I started MakeUsWell, my specific initial goal was to help us and the U.S. heal and recover from the pandemic.

Today we are at an inflection point with the two letter acronym, A.I.

I wholeheartedly believe in the power of A.I. to make us well, and to accelerate American society’s overall goodness and greatness.

The only way to get there is through a pragmatic, non-partisan, and rational approach to A.I. We must concurrently consider A.I.’s human factors dispassionately. And with honesty and intellectual rigor.

With that focus in mind, we are introducing Raghavan Muthuregunathan, who is joining our MakeUsWell Network.

Multiple events remind us about the fragility of peace and safe travels, the risks in our economic environment, and the chronic concerns about extreme weather events during summer months. These combinations create multiple sources of stress.  

On top of all these events, which are reported endlessly because they draw in and retain readers or viewers, is the perceived risk that artificial intelligence will cause many jobs perceived as secure to become obsolete.
