The nostalgia machine
We often make a terrible mistake when we look at Artificial Intelligence. We see it as the triumph of cold logic, sterile silicon, and industrial efficiency. But if we pull back the wires and look at what actually ignited the spark, we don’t find military ambition or corporate greed. We find a graveyard. We find…

La IA como Catalizador de una Atención más Humana
Todavía tengo presente mi primer día de hospital, en los pasillos de la medicina interna.
