Physicians rank fourth in the line up, led by lawyers, artists and accountants, according to a Jan. 3 press release sent to Becker’s. 

In New Mexico, physicians are the workers most concerned about AI implementation. 

“The truth is that AI is not “intelligent.” It is simply a very fast and efficient and powerful way to search and apply data. The problem is, if you put bad data in, you will get bad data out.
