Who really owns the future of healthcare? 🏥

We explore the unsettling intersection of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Thomas Piketty’s economic theories. Authors Philip Trammell and Dwarkesh Patel warn of a "Piketty Trap": a future where the return on AI capital skyrockets while the economic value of clinical labor drops toward zero.

As we shift from AI as a "tool" to AI as a "substitute," we face a massive hurdle. Is your clinical expertise being "mined" to enrich private markets? We discuss the "Dead Patient" Paradox - the dangerous reality of optimising healthcare for "throughput" and "efficiency" over human outcomes.

Key insights in this episode:

- The Privatisation of Returns: Why AI wealth is being locked in private markets and what it means for the NHS and global health systems.

- The Efficiency Trap: Why the "business case" for AI might lead to "algorithmic extraction" instead of better patient care.

- The Bridge Forward: Why the clinical community must move from being "users" to "equity stakeholders" in the AI models of the 22nd Century.

It’s time to reclaim the human-centric soul of medicine.

Listen now for a pragmatic guide to surviving the AI wealth shift.
