> talked about using AI to simulate a larger sample size for clinical trials which is similar to what you are doing here

My career has straddled medicine and ML at various points, so I feel like I have the context to comment on this: This is really fucking stupid. Like I can't believe anyone would suggest something this dumb. Hopefully the FDA shuts this bullshit down before some moron MBA spreads the practice through the industry. Without real data you have nothing.

Another interesting point about this is that he talks about how it’s mathematically probable that the clinical trial has the power of the larger sample size

AI for simulating surveys is pretty bad (read, pointless), but AI for simulating clinical trials is straight up criminal.
