Medicine today lacks cohesion, according to AMD’s CEO, Lisa Su. Following her mission to make AMD the leading choice for GPU technology, she plans to harness AI to address shortcomings in the healthcare system.

In a recent interview with Wired, Su discussed various topics, including AI’s future and current industry challenges. While she aims to push AMD’s AI initiatives forward, she envisions a significant role for AI in bridging the gaps in healthcare.

“Healthcare is fragmented;
specialists often work in silos without the generalist view,” she noted, emphasizing the need for integrated systems. She believes that AI can help streamline these processes, leading to better patient care.

Su highlighted her personal connection to this issue, reflecting on her mother’s experiences with the healthcare system. “The complex medical environment requires a holistic approach, and AI can pull together diverse insights to improve treatment.

Looking to the future, Su expressed hope that while we may not need advanced AI capabilities, we can still achieve significant advancements in medical technology. For now, her focus remains with AMD, but healthcare is a passion she intends to pursue eventually.
