Don’t count Bill Maher among the naysayers of artificial intelligence. On the contrary, the comedian and HBO show host said on his podcast he thinks AI can cure cancer.
And not one type of cancer, Maher insists — all cancers.
Maher, speaking to the disgraced former cyclist Lance Armstrong during “Club Random,” was going in on his oft-treaded line of debate in wondering why he shouldn’t question the wisdom and credibility of medical professionals and medical science.
“You can’t convince me that it’s a good idea to sit there and say, ‘Well, we are the government officials and we have the white lab coats and we’re just saying this — don’t ask any questions’ — when you haven’t even figured out cancer or Parkinson’s or MS or thousands of things,” Maher said to Armstrong, who overcame testicular cancer in his 20s.
