OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has shared a candid and bemused observation about the diagnostics capabilities of AI in the field of healthcare. Altman claims that the artificial intelligence is already surpassing many human doctors in diagnostic accuracy, yet people still go to a doctor due to the trust factor. Speaking at the Capital Framework for Large Banks conference at the Federal Reserve in Washington D.C, Altman talked about AI's burgeoning capabilities across various sectors, including medicine. As reported by The Guardian, OpenAI CEO said that ChatGPT most of time offers better diagnosis as compared to a doctor. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman: AI's diagnostic capabilities already outperforming doctors As reported by The Guardian, Sam Altman said that AI is delivering some really good results in the healthcare sector. Altman claims that ChatGPT today is offering better and faster diagnosis as compared to a doctor. 'ChatGPT today, by the way, most of the time, can give you better – it's like, a better diagnostician than most doctors in the world,' he said.' 'Yet people still go to doctors, and I am not, like, maybe I'm a dinosaur here, but I really do not want to, like, entrust my medical fate to ChatGPT with no human doctor in the loop,' added Altman. Altman's analogy underscores a growing consensus among tech leaders: AI is best used to augment human expertise, not eliminate it. Altman also gave example where AI has helped doctors in identifying rare conditions and reduce diagnostic errors. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is this legal?

He emphasised that "AI has fully defeated most of the ways that people authenticate currently — other than passwords." Altman also stressed that "society has to deal with this problem more generally, but people are going to have to change the way they interact. They're going to have to change the way they verify."

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman warns AI will wipe entire job categories off the map
Sam Altman, OpenAI's CEO, has been making waves recently after a big speech in Washington. While he first went to work warning about the rise of AI scams, his speech has covered a wide range of concerns. He warned of his vision of an AI-dominated future where entire categories of jobs would be taken over, presidents follow the suggestions of ChatGPT, and AI is used for war and injustice. It's a pretty bleak image, and possibly one of the darker warnings from inside the AI world. Recently, the likes of Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, warned similarly of the risk of AI taking over jobs, but phrased it as a much smaller problem than Altman. 'Some areas, again, I think just like totally, totally gone,' Said Altman, speaking at the Capital Framework for Large Banks conference at the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. 'That's a category where I just say, you know what, when you call customer support, you're on target and AI, and that's fine,' he added, talking about customer support roles. 'Now you call one of these things and AI answers. It's like a super-smart, capable person. There's no phone tree, there's no transfers. It can do everything that any customer support agent at that company could do. It does not make mistakes. It's very quick. You call once, the thing just happens, it's done.' Altman went on to highlight the same issue in healthcare, suggesting AI's diagnostic capabilities were better than any human. He did share that he believed AI could never fully replace healthcare staff. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. In his time in Washington, Altman also addressed concerns over the use of AI by hostile nations, and the use of AI by those who would use it for malicious circumstances. We previously covered that, in the same talks, Altman addressed his concerns for the rise in AI voice creators. As the technology improves, the technology could be used in scams or to get around voice–activated banking services. OpenAI is gearing up to be ahead of the AI movement in terms of policy. The company has confirmed that it will soon open its first Washington, DC office with a small workforce. This would be used to host policymakers and provide AI training to those making decisions on the technology.

‘You will lose your job and may be unemployed forever if…,' warns ChatGPT-creator and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman
OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman has issued his starkest warning yet about the potential of artificial intelligence to reshape the workforce and society, saying that whole job categories will probably be eliminated. He said that jobs such as customer support are on the verge of disappearing due to rapid advances in AI. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman addresses Washington, warning that AI will soon eliminate entire job categories and reshape major industries.(AFP File) Which sectors are in danger? Speaking at the Federal Reserve's Capital Framework for Large Banks conference, Altman was blunt about the future of customer support roles. He declared that this field is nearing total replacement by AI technology, stating that when customers now reach out for service, they are already handled by AI systems that perform the job more quickly, without mistakes, and more efficiently than human agents. He described the customer service revolution as essentially complete, with AI handling queries instantly and directly, eliminating the need for traditional phone trees and transfers. Altman then moved to healthcare, further explaining that AI is now better at diagnosing medical issues than most human doctors in the world. Despite this, he admitted a personal reluctance to fully trust AI with healthcare. He said that while ChatGPT often delivers superior diagnostic results, he still would not entrust his medical fate entirely to a machine, believing a human doctor should remain in the loop. Altman's remarks came during a visit to Washington timed with the Trump administration's new 'AI action plan', focused on both loosening some regulations and encouraging investment in more datacentres. The regulatory conversation on AI in the US has shifted: under the Biden administration, tech leaders pushed for more oversight, while the Trump administration emphasises speed and global competition, particularly with China. At the conference, Altman outlined his growing concerns over the negative uses of AI. He warned that hostile nations could deploy advanced AI to attack financial infrastructure, a scenario he said keeps him awake at night. He also called attention to the risks enabled by advances in voice cloning, noting that some financial firms still accept voiceprint authentication, opening the door to identity theft and sophisticated fraud. In addition, OpenAI signalled its increasing involvement in US policymaking by revealing plans to open a Washington office in 2026. AI Is already transforming key industries Artificial intelligence is no longer a theoretical concept; it is already driving dramatic changes across a range of industries. In financial services, AI manages and streamlines customer support, automates risk analysis, and detects fraud in real time. Healthcare has seen an influx of AI-powered diagnostic tools that assist doctors in making faster, more accurate assessments. Retailers rely on AI to optimise inventory, analyse consumer trends, and provide tailored shopping experiences for customers. In manufacturing, algorithms control supply chains and monitor equipment. This can increase efficiency and reduce downtime. Even creative fields, such as media and advertising, now use AI to generate content, personalise recommendations, and analyse audience preferences. This wave of adoption signals that AI is actively reshaping how entire sectors operate today.

Donald Trump's "AI action plan" Altman's remarks came as the US president Donald Trump's administration unveiled its new 'AI action plan,' aimed at reducing regulatory burdens and accelerating AI infrastructure, such as building more data centers, according to The Guardian report. It marks a shift in tone from the former US president Joe Biden's administration, where Altman and other tech leaders actively called for stronger government regulation, as per the report. Under Trump, the message has become one of urgency and international rivalry, particularly with China, according to the report. FAQs Is my customer service job at risk? According to Altman, yes. He says AI can already handle those roles better and faster than humans. Can ChatGPT really diagnose illness better than doctors? Altman claims it often can, but he still wants a human doctor involved in his own care.
