Today, at the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Action Summit in Paris, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has launched InvestAI, an initiative to mobilize €200 billion for investment in AI, including a new European fund of €20 billion for AI gigafactories.

Nothing like buying the top of the market in something that sort of works.
Nothing like watching AI cancel a doctor’s appointment while the patient is sitting with the doctor in the office. When I entered the office for the next appointment every worker in the office was in a stunned repeatedly for weeks position.
Just to elaborate…a database has a key. You can reference all the data with the key. The doctor’s office database had no key. It was just one big pile of data. There is no looking up a patient’s data for anything without getting all the data unorganized. Meaning there are three doctors in the office but the schedule no longer breaks them out individually for editing. AI to the rescue?
The plural of anecdote is not data.
However early we are in the development of AI, hundreds of billions of dollars are being spent every year on the infrastructure.

No killer app.
Start to subtract the hundreds of billions of dollars because of Deepseek. The AI killer. The first of many AI killers to come.
Anyway enjoy the top of the market. Just do not spread the disease to others.
This is probably confusing “AI” with “computer software”. The software has code in it to cancel any appointment if the person hasn’t checked in by XX minutes (usually 15-30) after the scheduled appointment time. The act of “checking in” is when the person enters the waiting room and writes their name and DOB on the sheet of paper (sometimes it is a label sheet, so the receptionist can peel it off). When the receptionist signs the patient in, the software notes it. And then the auto cancel doesn’t happen. But sometimes a mistake is made and the receptionist doesn’t properly check the patient in.
It very likely has nothing to do with “AI”. Though it is very popular to blame many computer (or human) mishaps on AI nowadays. AI has become a convenient scapegoat.
That is not the problem.
The problem with the AI “software” is accessing the database. There is no key. Scheduling is a nightmare. Yes it might be routine code that cancelled the appointment but it takes forever to find a patient to check them in. The data is all just one big puddle.
