At a recent House hearing, as if summoned from a sci-fi sitcom, lawmakers grilled AI’s role in health care—drug development, Medicare, and mental health. No Silicon Valley execs, just Congressional crickets trying to decode tech jargon like 'machine learning' and 'neural networks,' probably mixing them up with Wi-Fi passwords. 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.
