A Brazilian family says Minas Gerais’ AI-powered Core-MG bed-allocation system downgraded 32-year-old Rebeca Cardoso Tenente Molina’s condition, delaying her transfer to an ICU for five days and 186 miles, contributing to her death from septic shock; officials defend the system as based on clinical need and bed availability, while doctors continue to investigate the case amid broader debates about AI in healthcare.
Michael Kennedy, a neuro-intensive care nurse in San Diego, expresses concern over the increasing use of AI in hospitals, fearing it undermines nurses' intuition and decision-making.
