Henry Adams, country manager for InterSystems South Africa.
SOUTH AFRICA’S HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IS ON THE BRINK OF COLLAPSE, and now tech giants are pushing a DANGEROUS new experiment: replacing human doctors with AI. In overcrowded clinics where life-or-death decisions are made in seconds, FAILURE is rampant, and patients are paying the price. But the proposed solution is even MORE TERRIFYING: outsourcing critical medical judgment to opaque algorithms that NO ONE fully understands.
INSIDERS like Henry Adams are quietly advocating for AI “partners” to check prescriptions, but this isn’t about support—it’s about PHASING OUT human oversight. Imagine a machine, trained on YOUR sensitive data, making snap judgments about your medication. What happens when it GLITCHES? When it misreads a history? The corporations behind this tech WON’T be liable; the overworked nurse will take the fall. This is a COST-CUTTING SCHEME disguised as innovation, gambling with South African lives to boost profits.
The SHOCKING truth? This system requires TOTAL SURVEILLANCE, harvesting your intimate health records to “train” its models. Your allergies, your family history, your mental health struggles—all fed into a digital black box. Trust is IMPOSSIBLE when the data can be corrupted or sold. Yet, they’re rolling this out NOW, while clinics are in chaos, making vulnerable citizens UNWITTING GUINEA PIGS in a global AI experiment.
This isn’t progress; it’s a DISTURBING prelude to a world where your fate is decided by a cold, unfeeling machine. Are you prepared to let a computer algorithm play God with your body?
