Kennedy Touts AI Over Doctors At Industry-Backed Summit

Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Sept. 29 touted artificial intelligence (AI) for people making medical decisions at a summit sponsored by AI companies, drawing criticism from some doctors.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaks in Dallas, Texas, on Sept. 10, 2026. Kevin Dietsch/Getty ImagesKennedy, during an appearance at an event in Washington called the MAHA Summit, said he recently met with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Altman, he recalled, told him that “today it would be malpractice for a doctor to make a diagnosis or make a prescription without at least checking AI.”

Kennedy went on to reiterate the goal of giving Americans access to their medical records and described how AI could summarize lengthy records.

“You may have a medical record that’s a thousand pages long. You have six minutes with a doctor today. He’s not going to be able to review it, but the AI can. And … it can distill it,” Kennedy said. “It can give you a second opinion that is much better informed than any doctor in the country.”

Kennedy, a harsh critic of public health advice on masks, vaccines, and other matters during the COVID-19 pandemic, said one benefit of AI is that it could correct such advice from presumed experts.

“So it really has the capacity to dominate us to free us from medical tyranny,” he said.

AI companies, including OpenAI and Anthropic, sponsored the summit in part. An OpenAI executive spoke during a session called “Building the AI Health Stack.”

The comments came as President Donald Trump and other top administration officials promote AI adoption. Trump, who has said it is important for the United States to remain ahead of adversaries such as China on AI, also signed a voluntary accord with AI executives earlier Tuesday.

AI provides answers to questions, including medical ones. Multiple lawsuits are pending in court over allegations that medical advice from AI led to catastrophic outcomes, including one from a Florida pastor against OpenAI, who alleged a chatbot instructed him not to seek medical attention when he developed symptoms such as severe dizziness.

Kennedy’s remarks prompted criticism from some doctors.

“AI is programmed to give you the current narrative pushed by ‘the experts’,” Dr. Jeffrey Dach, a Florida physician, wrote in a Sept. 30 post on X. “This means we get a rehash of the same lies and garbage we are being fed by the ‘experts’ and ‘authorities’ in government agencies captured by industry, and lies and garbage from the captured mass media. AI is merely a souped up search engine that hallucinates answers when it is lost.”

Dr. Joe Pierre, a professor of psychiatry at the University of California San Francisco, noted that he ran Kennedy’s comments by ChatGPT, OpenAI’s chatbot.

“If his claim is AI is more reliable than MDs when giving people medical advice, the evidence doesn’t establish that,” ChatGPT responded. “In fact, some of the best real-world evidence points in the opposite direction.”

Kennedy noted downsides of AI, asking Vice President JD Vance, who appeared with him, to elaborate.

“Most of the downsides are all related to models that were literally trained to hack into your computer,” Vance said.

He said the best way to deal with the risks is to ensure companies are not shielded from product liability claims through regulations.

An Israel-bound Flydubai flight on Wednesday made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia after plunging thousands of feet and sparking concerns of a hijacking incident from passengers.
Passengers and Israeli officials revealed that a bloody cockpit altercation resulted in a co-pilot stabbing the captain. Israeli officials are currently investigating whether it was an attempted “terror attack,” Fox News reports. Israeli fighter jets were scrambled to the area over the potential hijacking.
The cabin crew reportedly entered the cockpit and took control of the plane.
“There are many different accounts, but apparently the co-pilot stabbed the captain and collapsed onto the controls, shutting down the entire instrument panel. We began plunging downward for several minutes. Everyone on the plane was screaming, the overhead compartments opened, and the power went out. We were sure we were going to die. It was very scary,” a passenger told Fox.
Graphic images from on board the plane show a bloodied passenger who assisted cabin crew members and likely the stabbed pilot.
One passenger spoke to Fox News to describe the scene where there was “a lot of blood” from the stabbing.

Footage from inside the plane shows the horrifying scene unfolding, with passengers screaming as the plane dives.

According to i24 News correspondent Amichai Stein, the flight had plummeted 4,305 meters, over 14,000 feet, in 30 seconds at 8:22 am local time.

הצניחה הייתה עוד יותר דרמטית ממה שהיה ידוע עד כה

Fans of “The Madison” better be ready to wait a bit longer for new episodes.The show from Taylor Sheridan was a major change of pace for the “Yellowstone” universe creator. Instead of lots of action, violence, carnage and suspense, the show with Kurt Russell and Michelle Pfeiffer tells a very different kind of story.It focuses on a family going through a deeply painful moment and fleeing New York City for the comfort and safety of rural Montana.MICHELLE PFEIFFER JOINS HOLLYWOOD STARS FLOCKING TO TAYLOR SHERIDAN’S HEARTLAND EMPIRE AS ‘THE MADISON’ SURGESAdmittedly, I had extremely low expectations when the first preview was released for “The Madison.” That was a mistake. It turned out to be a shockingly uplifting series from Sheridan and was a punch to the emotions.Season one ended on March 21, 2026, and fans have been eager for new episodes for one very simple reason:TAYLOR SHERIDAN’S ‘LANDMAN,’ ‘THE MADISON’ SNUBBED BY EMMYS AS EXPERT HAILS HIM AS TV’S ‘SIX-TIME CHAMPION’Season two was filmed before the series premiere even aired.Well, viewers finally starting to get an idea of when “The Madison” will return for season two, and it won’t be in 2026.”I got cast in the show back in 2024, and our first season came out in 2026, and then season two is going to come out top of 2027. And we’ll be back shooting season three for top of 2027 as well, so stay tuned,” actress Danielle Vasinova, who plays Kestrel Harris on the series, told US Weekly.Actor Kevin Zegers further told the outlet, “It was mostly nice to shoot a second season before anyone had seen the first season, just because I think sometimes the show comes out and the vibes change on set because everyone’s kind of like the thing you’re making has been consumed. So, having made the second now, we’re going back to make the third at the beginning of next year.”Now, fans know season two will arrive at some point in 2027 – likely early in the year – and production on season three will begin roughly the same time.That means fans are looking at a late 2027 or early 2028 release for the third season of the hit show with Russell and Pfeiffer.SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTERWill there be a fourth season? Time will tell, but given the early success of “The Madison” and Sheridan’s habit of stacking success on top of success, I wouldn’t rule anything out.What do you think about “The Madison” and what do you want to see in coming seasons?

It’s like a Jerry Springer brawl masquerading as a professional sports league.
The WNBA proved itself, once again, as not being ready for primetime.
On Tuesday night, WNBA star player Aja Wilson took her frustrations out on a fan for pointing a finger at her.
This took place in the fourth quarter after the game was already won by Caitlin Clark who put on a clinic chalking up a double-double in assists and points to lead the Indianapolis Fever to victory against the Las Vegas team.
Towards the end of the game, Aja Wilson steamrolled over Sophie Cunningham like a truck. The sh*tty refs called a foul on Cunningham for standing in her way. It was another night of the worst referees in sports inserting themselves into the game with horrendous call after horrendous call.
Aja Wilson goes after a fan in his chair during the Indiana playoff game. She was upset he pointed at her and blamed her for a foul.
After Wilson trucked over Cunningham an Indy fan pointed at her. That’s when Wilson went into the seating and started screaming at the man as he sat their drinking his beer.
Aja was given a technical foul for the stunt.
Aja later boasted that she won’t allow a man to come at her or point at her.
Take a chill pill, girl.

Here’s another view of the incident.

Here’s a fan clip of the incident.
All the fan said was “That’s on you” and pointed at Aja Wilson. She is soft as Charmin man.
The fan didn’t charge her, he simply pointed and said that foul was on her. pic.twitter.com/DpgsFnY0oT

But, it’s the WNBA so it didn’t end there.
During the chaos a former NBA player also went at the same man for pointing and was ejected from the game.
It’s not clear who the big girl was in Sydney’s entourage who left the game with Colson.

The fan was questioned by security and returned to the game to cheers.
It was just another night for the WNBA, a league no one cared about before phenom Caitlin Clark was drafted by Indiana.
