"Last week, two big names in the artificial intelligence (AI) and wellness
industries announced a collaboration to develop a “customised,
hyper-personalised AI health coach that will be available as a mobile app” to
“reverse the trend lines on chronic diseases”.
Sam Altman (head of OpenAI, maker of ChatGPT) and Arianna Huffington (a former
media executive who runs a high-tech wellness company called Thrive Global)
announced their new company, Thrive AI Health, in a Time magazine advertorial.
Health is an appealing direction for an AI industry that has promised to
transform civilisation, but whose huge growth of the past couple of years is
beginning to look like it’s stalling. Companies and investors have pumped
billions into the technology, but it is still often a solution looking for
problems.
Meanwhile, venture capitalists Sequoia and the investment bank Goldman Sachs
are wondering out loud whether enough revenue and consumer demand will ever
emerge to make this bubble feel more solid.
Enter the next big thing: AI that will change our behaviour, for our own good."
