They lobbed wild guesses on AI's promise and perils, showing how much they know about algorithms—which is less than your grandma’s knowledge of TikTok trends. Meanwhile, AI quietly reminded us that while politicians debate, your health tech could actually evolve—if it doesn’t get stuck in bureaucratic quicksand first.
