Leah Feiger & Steven Levy at WIRED report Dr. Mehmet Oz, the new administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), spent much of his first all-Staff meeting on last week promoting the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) at the agency and praising Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Make America Healthy Again Initiative, sources tell WIRED. During the meeting, Oz discussed possibly prioritizing AI avatars over Front Line Health Care Workers.

Oz also claimed that patients have rated the care they’ve received from an AI avatar as equal to or better than a human Doctor.
