Empower people. People should be able to make decisions about their lives and their communities. So we don’t allow our services to be used to manipulate or deceive people, to interfere with their exercise of human rights, to exploit people’s vulnerabilities, or to interfere with their ability to get an education or access critical services, including any use for:
…
automation of high-stakes decisions in sensitive areas without human review:
- critical infrastructure
- education
- housing
- employment
- financial activities and credit insurance
- legal ===
- medical ===
- essential government services
- product safety components
- national security
- migration
- law enforcement
It’s a safe bet: we don’t allow you to ask for medical advice so we are not liable if you do and drink mercury or what have you based on our advice.
"you cannot use our services for: provision of tailored advice that requires a license, such as legal or medical advice, without appropriate involvement by a licensed professional"
So, they didn't add any handrails, filters, or blocks to the software. This is just boilerplate "consult your doctor too!" to cover their ass.
Does prohibit, for illustration, LLM-powered surgical device.
Everything else is “gray area”?
There is no way for them to even remotely verify if you are "without appropriate involvement by a licensed professional" in the room, so to a rebellious outlaw, these prohibitions might as well not exist.
Generally a bad idea. If you want to be a doctor, go to medical school.
If the AI isn’t smart enough to replace a licensed expert even given unlimited access to everything a doctor would learn in medical, where is the value in the AI?
So stories like this are no longer possible? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45734582
