Surprising that @USCongress_ Healthy Technology Act of 2025 isn't making waves. It proposes AI as a licensed practitioner to prescribe FDA-approved drugs. Not law, nor FDA approved (yet!) but a significant precedent? https://t.co/8avi5QW2hX

@svpino Sounds 'agentic' to me. Kidding aside, I do worry that with AI runtime costs being so much lower than human costs, we'll end up automating inefficient or unproductive processes instead of focusing on meaningful improvement.

4/4: Understanding Agentic AI by @SRajdev
A deep dive into Agentic architectures, frameworks, and practical considerations for building them. https://t.co/qEd932SLKb

1/4: 2025 will be to #AIAgents as 2015 was to #RPA.
The shift will be fueled by:
1. Advances in LLMs
2. Growing demand for context-aware automation
3. Rapid maturation of frameworks and tools
Three insightful articles that helped me understand this space better...

3/4: Building Effective Agents by @AnthropicAI
This article is a must-read for understanding the distinction between workflows and agents. https://t.co/tuhxJx2H9M

Healthcare AI is outpacing system readiness, warns @wef. Priorities: Upskill workforce, tackle bias, prevention, equity - or risk inefficiency. We've seen this before with automation in healthcare. https://t.co/KzNSN5I8JS

How can we adapt Generalist Radiology Artificial Intelligence (GRAI) reimbursement frameworks to fit the New Zealand healthcare context? What challenges and opportunities might arise? 🤔 #AIinHealthcare #RadiologyAI #NewZealand"

.@OpenAI's 01 model: 'Not better than any human at any task, but better than most humans at most tasks.' From #RPA to #GenAI to #AgenticAI to #AGI, we’re witnessing real leaps in computational autonomy.

OpenAI o1 is now fully rolled out to 100% of ChatGPT Plus, Team, and Pro users 💯

AI diagnosis tools struggle with clinical adoption. Confidence ≠ accuracy, yet overconfident clinicians rarely seek help (Meyer & Singh, JAMA 2013). Can 'pushing' insights avoid alarm fatigue? #AIHealth https://t.co/5wK8G4mqkj

Dario Amodei's 'Machines of Loving Grace' envisions AI transforming healthcare—50-100 years of progress in 5-10 years, curing diseases & doubling lifespans. The shift? AI as autonomous scientists, not just tools. Great read. https://t.co/d7sKckDA54

Sadly, @goforward has shut down after 8y and $500M in funding. They promised $149/mo preventive care, AI Care Pods, but failed to deliver.
Lessons:
1. Healthcare is still traditional.
2. Digital prevention-oriented care models are still challenged.

Pleased to submit feedback to #DPMC & @environmentgvnz's call on boosting NZ’s resilience to major hazards through #IntelligentAutomation. Adaptive, rapid-response systems are vital for protecting communities & enhancing crisis readiness. #RPA #AgenticAI https://t.co/ZLUXmDfBaO

@StuartBlitz @chrissyfarr The former is a little true for health tech product teams inside hospitals and health systems.

Attending #HiNZ2023 and interested in automation? Learn about delivering #RPA for @TeWhatuOra. I'll be speaking at 4:25pm 29/11/23 in Room 8 as part of F.5: Transformation & Outcomes. Please feel free to tweet any Q&A you'd like me to cover.

I'm setting up @RealMe account for a robot. Ironic AF. #BotsLivesMatter

Congratulations, @ISRO! Certainly worth staying up for. Super proud of the motherland. #Chandrayaan3

[Parag Bhatnagar @bhatnagar]

@emlarson @girlmeetsgeek Likely #2, but hey, it's 2023! "siloed data systems" is no longer an excuse. Integrate. If it's too expensive, automate. RPA and NLP solutions are cheap and throw-away.

[Parag Bhatnagar @bhatnagar]

@lukechch I hope the @ausgov is embracing automation!

[Parag Bhatnagar @bhatnagar]

Impactful. @VFNZ_foundation and @onenzofficial are taking donated laptops, refurbishing them and handing them to #Invercargill youth👏https://t.co/QEyeUW8cwI
