AI transforming healthcare, but human empathy is irreplaceable: Murmu

President Droupadi Murmu on Monday said rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, robotics, and digital health are transforming the field of medicine, even as she emphasised that human empathy can never be replaced in patient care.

She urged the young medical professionals to remain prepared to adopt these latest technologies to enhance their knowledge and skills, and to treat illnesses more effectively. However, she also stated that such new technological tools can "never replace human empathy". "Your gentle words, a reassuring smile, and the willingness to listen to a patientas concerns can often prove far more effective than medication alone," th

In that case, a judge forced President Donald Trump's administration to remove a label tainting the company as a national security risk. Anthropic filed the two separate lawsuits in San Francisco and the Washington appeals court last month, asserting the Trump
