Tonight, I’m thinking about Justice Murray Sinclair and of the times that I was lucky enough to hear him speak about his work with the TRC. This moment stands out for me. It’s his answer when he was asked, “Why can’t you just get over it?”

My sister’s been diagnosed with a rare sarcoma, motivating this search for look-a-like cases if you know anyone please let @wgibson know, his lab at Dana-Farber looks and feels like the best startups in the silicon valley they will change the future of cancer

The government of Canada has unfortunately completely lost their plot on innovation & entrepreneurship: - trying to pick winners (eg superclusters) - proposing very rigid AI regulation - dramatic increase of # of public sector employees - increasing capital gain rate

Millions of Canadians still looking for a family doctor. Learn how data and AI can help improve access to quality healthcare. @EmpowerHlthcare , @ryansdoherty. healthing.ca/wellness/techno…

A reason we need beneficial AGI: After five years of pain across many systems in her body (a broken foot from stepping off a curb, debilitating migraines, fatigue, joint pain and instability, etc), my wife was recently diagnosed with a genetic disorder called Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS). Because the medical system is designed for individual specialties while hEDS affects every system in her body (orthopedics, cardiology, neurology, gastroenterology, dermatology, etc), we spent five years seeing more doctors and specialists than in her whole life prior. Most doctors would only focus on what was relevant to their own specialty. We were lucky that her allergist (!!) put together the pieces after observing and hearing her full set of symptoms and issues. As human medicine has progressed, it seems like we increase doctors’ depth at the expense of breadth. We need better tools to be able to deliver depth and breadth simultaneously to patients. This is one promise of AGI if built right — reliable, individualized, affordable healthcare in your pocket, like a panel of today’s top doctors across every speciality working together in concert to keep you healthy (and without you needing to fax forms between them). There’s still a long way to go on the technology and on learning how to deploy it beneficially along with appropriate professional human oversight in high-stakes areas like medicine, but the promise is getting increasingly clear. Thoughtfully approached by technology developers, healthcare providers, governments, and society, there’s hope for much better care for every member of all of our families (including our non-human furry ones).

This requires a concerted effort at ensuring collaboration between the public sector & Canada's innovator ecosystem. We need to end unnecessary silos between public sector healthcare infrastructure & innovators that deliver better data, faster and cheaper. #CDNhealth #ONhealth

1/2 When people think about responsible AI, they think about Canada. Because 🇨🇦 is the most trusted brand when it comes to AI. Today, as part of my participation in ALL IN, I am proud to announce that Canada is introducing a Voluntary AI Code of Conduct.

Canada introduced its AI code of conduct today. Demonstrating Canada's continued leadership in AI innovation, as we continue to see AI innovations mature and become more commonplace. #AI #Canada #ALLIN2023

Thanks to @friedberg & @theallinpod for inviting me to speak. One key phrase from Stigler is so important, "... leading to a net loss for society." It's not just that these lobby efforts have undo influence, its that this influence causes specific harm to society.

Canada has more family doctors per capita than ever. Here’s why you can’t find one anyway trib.al/SRmsaGq

Need healthcare ASAP? Book a same-day virtual urgent care appointment (using Zoom). It's covered by OHIP. Get care from comfort of your home without stepping into a waiting room! regional-virtual-urgent-care… #mississauga #markham #barrie #huntsville #newmarket #ontario #brampton
