Seriously all of them.
Even with new tech and new solves comes new problems. An expert is an expert, and even with solutions in some arenas, there will be other issues.
Chase what interests you. It makes learning easy.

Cybrids were the AI personalities in the megasphere. They were connected to their physical bodies through the void that binds.

Also med student here.
I've been struck with the same question, then I came to realize that if there ever is an AI that can replace a doctor, then they would also be able to replace pretty much everyone else. Imagine there's a medical robot that could perform surgeries: It could learn how we are anatomically, how to spot conditions, how to surgically treat them, etc. If properly maintained, it would be more accurate than a human ever could. Then again, if there ever was a machine like that, what it wouldn't be able to do? So, there's not much sense into trying and figure out what specialty to choose based on if it's most likely to be replaced by AI or not. Still, if you're going that way: Any surgery field, Psychiatry, Neurology, Anesthesiology.

Typically, the last thing you want is a worm in your network

This sounds like the kind of thing required to make an AI system truly general. Right now, as I understand it, no matter how capable we build a system its capabilities remain rigid. I imagine something more plastic could be immensely more capable.

Hyperion! What a great set of books. Cybrids?

First guess: none. 100 years from now, smart toilets will be step one.

This reminds me of the DNA based AI’s from the Hyperion Cantos.

So it sounds like they added an extra fitting parameter

Sounds like a liability nightmare. You put one of these in your cars, without being able to predict what it's gonna do in any given situation because it keeps modifying itself.

Healthcare can't be a lost liter. Are you aware what percent of gdp in America Healthcare takes? It needs to break even at a minimum. Education payed for by either federal government..or mostly property taxes for grades k-12. What taxes would you like to raise to offset Healthcare losses? Nothing unfortunately is free

Yeah, they keep saying whatever the latest breakthrough is one of the last puzzle pieces. We'll see...

Yeah, this sounds very, very cool. This seems elegant and much more likely to solve these harder problems.

Umm that's not remotely "future proof" lol.

If they can treat the oldies using robotics why couldn't they use it to treat the median age of the population?
