Many millions of lives will be saved each year by 2030 as a direct result of AI, 400,000 in the EU alone.

AI is just the latest of many digital innovations sweeping through healthcare.

At the same time, AI will remain invisible to sick patients receiving care in hospital or at home.

You will be completely unaware of AI when unwell, with healthcare workers around you in the normal way, but your care team will feel better supported, by more accurate diagnostics and advice.

Over $30bn a year is already being spent on AI in healthcare, with AI budgets increasing by 30% or more every twelve months.

Already 95% of all healthcare companies are using AI, spending an average 10% of their turnover on AI innovation, double what it was the year before.

AI will reduce healthcare costs by up to 10% – equivalent to an annual saving of $300bn in the US alone by 2026, a country spending 18% of GDP on health, which is an average of $11,000 per person each year.

Just one part of this will be streamlining $4tn in medical expenses which have to be invoiced every year.

Each year €200bn will also be saved in EU healthcare costs, 25% of it linked to wearable devices enabling instant diagnosis, 24/7 monitoring, and advice to be given, especially where people might otherwise need to be in hospital.

Daily Telegraph review (14 September 2024 UK): 

"If you need to acquire instant AI mastery in time for your next board meeting, Dixon’s your man. 

Dixon gives us plenty to think about: AI’s role in surveillance; AI’s role in intellectual freedom and copyright; AI’s role in warfare; AI’s role in human obsolescence – his exhaustive list runs to over two dozen chapters.

Business types will enjoy Dixon's meticulous lists and his willingness to argue both sides against the middle."
