Montefiore is planning to lay off real nurses and replace them with artificial intelligence (AI)-powered software. These are nurses who use their decades of bedside experience and clinical judgement to review insurance denials and make sure patients get the care they need covered by insurance.

Replacing real nurses with AI is terrible for workers and the economy in the Bronx. It could also have negative consequences for patients in the Bronx.

AI can be a force multiplier for humans, but often can't replace them. The current usage is often idiotic at best.

E.g. excluding the issue of data misuse, an AI system could be extremely helpful to doctors. It could flag possible issues, complications and unusual conditions in a way that would otherwise require a deep dive by a specialist doctor. A doctor or nurse could then parse the results for useful points, while filtering out hallucinations.
