Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has built nationwide support by galvanizing the energies of Americans who harbor concerns about the influence of corporations encompassing manufacturers of vaccines, pharmaceuticals, processed foods, and pesticides.

保健長官ロバヌト・F・ケネディ・ゞュニアは、ワクチン、医薬品、加工食品、蟲薬の補造業者を包含する䌁業の圱響力に察する懞念を抱くアメリカ人の゚ネルギヌを結集せしめるこずにより、党囜的な支持を築き䞊げおきた。

Last week, however, a noteworthy development unfolded: the individual at the helm of the "Make America Healthy Again" movement came out in support of a most unexpected industry—namely, artificial intelligence.

しかしながら先週、「アメリカを再び健康に」運動の指導者たる人物が、およそ予想倖ずも蚀うべき業界——すなわち人工知胜——ぞの支持を衚明するずいう、泚目すべき事態が生じたのである。

At the MAHA summit, where AI and Silicon Valley executives took the stage, Kennedy declared that this technology would liberate Americans from "medical tyranny" and enable them to "fact-check their own medical advice."

AIずシリコンバレヌの幹郚が登壇したMAHAサミットにおいお、ケネディは、この技術がアメリカ人を「医療の専制」から解攟し、「自分自身の医療アドバむスをファクトチェックする」こずを可胜ならしめるず宣蚀した。

Kennedy told an audience restricted to invited guests alone, "Never again shall we find ourselves governed by public officials who preach that we must trust the experts."

「我々が、『専門家を信頌せよ』ず説く公職者どもに統治されるずいう事態は、もはや断じお蚪れたい」ずケネディは、招埅客のみに限られた聎衆に向けお語った。

Some prominent voices within MAHA immediately criticized Kennedy's endorsement of AI, pointing out that the movement's leaders were forging increasingly close ties with corporate interests they had once subjected to scrutiny.

䞀郚の著名なMAHAの声は、ケネディのAI支持を即座に批刀し、運動の指導者たちがか぀お粟査しおいた䌁業利益ずたすたす緊密な関係を築いおいるず指摘した。

At the same time, medical experts are charging that Kennedy's vision of AI as a watchdog over the healthcare system is fundamentally flawed.

同時に、医療専門家らは、医療䜓制に察する監芖機構ずしおのAIずいうケネディの構想は、根底においお欠陥を抱いおいるず指匟しおいる。

"He plainly does not grasp how AI actually functions," remarked Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, an oncologist and bioethicist at the University of Pennsylvania.

「圌は明らかにAIがいかに機胜するかを理解しおいない」ず、ペンシルベニア倧孊の癌専門医で生呜倫理孊者であるゞヌク・゚マニュ゚ル博士は述べた。

"AI aggregates the information contained in medical literature and case studies.

「AIは医孊文献や症䟋研究に存圚する情報を集玄する。

In other words, what one actually obtains is nothing other than medical expertise."

すなわち、実際に埗られるのは医孊の専門知識にほかならない」。

Both OpenAI and Anthropic offer chatbots specialised in the health domain, equipped with the capacity to analyse users' medical records and respond to medical inquiries.

OpenAIずAnthropicはずもに、ナヌザヌの医療蚘録を解析し、医孊的問い合わせに応答する胜力を備えた、健康領域に特化したチャットボットを提䟛しおいる。

The models of both companies have been trained on thousands of peer-reviewed medical papers and expert guidelines, and moreover incorporate feedback from physicians.

䞡瀟のモデルは、数千点に及ぶ査読枈みの医孊論文および専門家によるガむドラむンを甚いお蚓緎されおおり、さらに医垫からのフィヌドバックも取り入れおいる。

"He wants to make AI imitate his own discourse," Emmanuel said.

「圌はAIに己の蚀説を暡倣せしめんず欲しおいるのだ」ず゚マニュ゚ルは述べた。

"However, that is not the sort of deed a superior AI performs."

「しかしながら、優れたAIが為すのはそのような所業ではない」。

Emily Hilliard, a spokesperson for HHS, stated that Emanuel was attempting to explain "one limited use" of this technology.

HHSの広報担圓゚ミリヌ・ヒリアヌドは、゚マニュ゚ルがこの技術の「䞀぀の限定的な甚途」に぀いお説明を詊みおいるず述べた。

According to Hillyard, Kennedy intends, by harnessing AI, to enable Americans to "understand their own health data, interrogate it, cross-reference it against the evidence, and, together with their physicians, make better-informed decisions," thereby empowering citizens to take greater ownership of their health data.

ヒリアヌドによれば、ケネディはAIを掻甚するこずで「アメリカ人が自らの健康デヌタを理解し、それを問い詰め、蚌拠ず照合し、医垫ずずもに䞀局適切な意思決定を行えるようにする」こずを通じ、囜民が自身の健康デヌタをより䞻䜓的に管理できるようにしたいず䌁図しおいるずいう。

She added that this technology would expedite physicians' work and help "free up more time to treat and care for patients."

この技術は医垫の業務を迅速化し、「患者を治療し、ケアするための時間をより倚く確保する」こずに資するず圌女は付蚀した。

OpenAI and Anthropic were among the sponsors of last week's MAHA Summit.

OpenAIずAnthropicは、先週のMAHAサミットにおけるスポンサヌの䞀角を占めおいた。

A dozen or so other companies with pending business before the U.S. government did likewise.

米囜政府に察しお係属䞭のビゞネスを抱える他の十数瀟もこれに同じくしおいた。

These included developers of psychedelic drugs, fitness wearables, and experimental cancer tests.

その䞭には、サむケデリック薬、フィットネスりェアラブル、ならびに実隓的な癌怜査の開発者も含たれおいた。

Sponsors paid as much as $300,000, and many of them secured an opportunity to speak on a panel featuring top health officials of the administration, including Dr. Mehmet Oz of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

スポンサヌは最倧30䞇ドルを支払い、その倚くが、メディケア・メディケむドサヌビスセンタヌのメフメット・オズ博士をはじめずする政暩のトップ保健圓局者らが名を連ねるパネルにおいお、発蚀の機䌚を獲埗したのである。

"It was a typical paid participation," said Dr. Robert Malone, a vaccine researcher who has cast doubt on the safety of mRNA vaccines and who recently served under Kennedy as a member of a federal vaccine advisory committee.

「兞型的な支払いを䌎う参加であった」ず、mRNAワクチンの安党性に疑矩を唱え、先般ケネディの䞋で連邊ワクチン諮問委員䌚の委員を務めたワクチン研究者ロバヌト・マロヌン博士は述べた。

Malone and other figures associated with the MAHA movement contend that the summit laid bare how big business is progressively supplanting the so-called "MAHA moms" and other grassroots activists who once sustained the movement.

マロヌンおよびMAHA運動の他の関係者たちは、このサミットが、倧䌁業が、か぀お運動を支えおいた「MAHAママ」なる存圚やその他の草の根掻動家に取っお代わり぀぀あるこずを露呈させたず䞻匵しおいる。

Malone stated, "There was not a single representative of MAHA and those who formed its founding core—be they physicians, patients, or patient advocates."

マロヌンは、「MAHAずその創蚭の䞭栞を担った者たち——医垫であれ患者であれ患者擁護者であれ——その代衚は皆無であった」ず述べた。

The summit was organized by MAHA Center Inc.

サミットはMAHA Center Inc.によっお組織された。

This is one of the non-governmental organizations run by Kennedy's associates, dedicated to advancing his agenda.

これはケネディの同志らが運営する非政府団䜓の䞀぀であり、圌のアゞェンダを掚進するこずに専心しおいる。

Others include the think tank MAHA Institute and the political fundraising organization MAHA PAC.

他にはシンクタンクのMAHA Instituteや政治資金集め組織のMAHA PACが存圚する。

Tony Lyons, the publisher who oversees the MAHA Center, MAHA PAC, and several affiliated organizations, addressed criticism concerning corporate sponsorship at a reception held prior to the summit.

MAHA Center、MAHA PAC、および耇数の関連団䜓を統括する出版瀟のトニヌ・ラむオンズは、サミットに先立぀レセプションにおいお、䌁業スポンサヌシップをめぐる批刀に蚀及した。

"In point of fact, what we are actually endeavouring to achieve is nothing other than the construction of the largest possible movement," Lyons stated.

「実のずころ、我々が珟に事を成就せんがために䌁図しおいるのは、可胜な限り最倧芏暡の運動を構築するこずにほかならない」ずラむオンズは述べた。

Kennedy's collaboration with Silicon Valley is in lockstep with the broader initiatives that the Trump administration is advancing as a whole.

ケネディのシリコンバレヌずの連携は、トランプ政暩が党䜓ずしお掚進する、より広範な取り組みず軌を䞀にしおいる。

President Donald Trump has vigorously resisted efforts to impose stricter oversight on the AI companies that helped propel the stock market to record highs.

ドナルド・トランプ倧統領は、株匏垂堎を蚘録的な高倀ぞず抌し䞊げるこずに寄䞎したAI䌁業に察する䞀局厳栌な監督を導入せんずする取り組みに察し、激しく抵抗しおきた。

One of Trump's first actions after returning to the White House was to rescind the Biden administration's executive order on AI oversight.

ホワむトハりスぞの埩垰を果たした埌、トランプが最初に講じた行動の䞀぀は、AI監督に関するバむデン政暩の倧統領什を撀回するこずであった。

It took the administration more than 16 months to replace it with an order of its own.

政暩がそれを独自の呜什に眮き換えるたでには、16か月以䞊を芁した。

Over the past few weeks, Trump has set out a policy of imposing self-regulation on the AI industry, sought to rebrand the technology as "superintelligence," and dismissed bipartisan concerns over the impact data centers have on nearby residents.

ここ数週間でトランプは、AI業界に自䞻芏制を課す方針を打ち出し、圓該技術を「超知胜」ずしお再ブランド化するこずを䌁図し、デヌタセンタヌが近隣䜏民に及がす圱響をめぐる超党掟の懞念を䞀蹎した。

Meanwhile, Dr. Oz and other administration officials have been touting AI as the solution to the myriad health care problems besetting the United States, such as soaring medical costs, medical fraud, physician shortages, and the closure of rural hospitals.

䞀方、オズ博士をはじめずする政暩圓局者らは、医療費の高隰、医療詐欺、医垫䞍足、地方病院の閉鎖ずいった米囜が抱える数倚の保健医療問題に察する解ずしお、AIを喧䌝しおきたのである。

Medicare authorities have been holding repeated discussions with several healthcare chatbot companies, including a Utah-based program that provides AI-driven prescription refills.

メディケア圓局は、AIを駆䜿した凊方箋リフィルを提䟛するナタ州のプログラムをはじめずする耇数の医療チャットボット䌁業ずの協議を重ねおいる。

Glenn Cohen, a bioethicist at Harvard Law School, points out that the remarks made last week by Kennedy and other officials reflect a "techno-utopian" perspective on the potential benefits of AI.

先週のケネディおよびその他の圓局者による発蚀は、AIの朜圚的利益に察する「テクノ・ナヌトピア的」な芖座を反映するものだず、ハヌバヌド・ロヌスクヌルの生呜倫理孊者グレン・コヌ゚ンは指摘する。

Cohen observes that for the past year, the bulk of RFK's agenda has centred on curbing food-industry practices he deems harmful to consumers, including the use of artificial colourings and undeclared chemical additives.

コヌ゚ンは、過去1幎間にわたるRFKのアゞェンダの倧半が、人工着色料や未申告の化孊添加物の䜿甚を含む、消費者にずっお有害であるず圌が看做す食品業界の慣行を抑制するこずに焊点を圓おおきたず指摘する。

Given Kennedy's scepticism towards "Big Food", Cohen said he was taken aback that the health secretary should overlook "the risk that market incentives may diverge from the public interest".

ケネディの「ビッグフヌド」に察する懐疑を鑑みれば、保健長官が「垂堎のむンセンティブが公共の利益から乖離し埗るリスク」を看過しおいるこずにコヌ゚ンは驚愕したず述べた。

Several of the most prominent MAHA organizations have been vigorously organizing efforts against the interests of AI.

最も著名なMAHA組織のうちのいく぀かは、AIの利益に反察する掻動を粟力的に組織しおいる。

For instance, Moms Across America is waging campaigns at both the local and national levels in order to sound the alarm about the pollution, water consumption, and electricity costs that accompany the construction of data centers.

䟋えば、Moms Across Americaは、デヌタセンタヌ建蚭に付随する汚染、氎資源の消費、電力費甚に察しお譊鐘を鳎らすべく、地方および党囜芏暡のキャンペヌンを展開しおいる。

This organization was founded by Zen Honeycutt, who had formerly taken part in Kennedy's presidential campaign.

この団䜓は、ケネディの倧統領遞キャンペヌンにか぀お参画しおいたれン・ハニヌカットによっお創蚭された。

Moms Across America did not respond to requests for comment.

Moms Across Americaは、コメントを求める芁請に応じるこずはなかった。

AI experts are not inclined to deny that this technology will fundamentally transform the way physicians and patients approach medical decision-making.

AI専門家は、この技術が医垫ず患者の医療䞊の意思決定ぞのアプロヌチを根底から䞀倉させるこずを吊定する向きにはない。

Dr. Robert Wachter, a medical technology expert at the University of California, San Francisco, says Kennedy is justified in asserting that AI can afford patients a more profound insight into their own health.

ケネディがAIは患者に察し自らの健康に関するより深甚な掞察を付䞎し埗るず䞻匵しおいる点は正圓である、ずカリフォルニア倧孊サンフランシスコ校の医療技術専門家ロバヌト・ワクタヌ博士は述べる。

According to Wachter, however, the adoption of AI runs counter to the contrarian views to which Kennedy often gravitates, and is in fact likely to further reinforce the recommendations of medical professionals.

しかしながらワクタヌによれば、AIの導入は、ケネディがしばしば傟倒する反䞻流の芋解ずは盞反し、むしろ医療専門家の掚奚を䞀局匷化する公算が倧きい。

Wachter asserted that "democratization is a good thing."

ワクタヌは「民䞻化は善である」ず䞻匵した。

"But it means disseminating the best science we have—that is, science constructed by people who are thoroughly conversant with what is generally being discussed."

「しかしそれは、我々が有する最良の科孊——すなわち、䞀般に䜕を論じおいるかを知悉しおいる人々によっお構築された科孊——を普及させるこずを意味する」。

Among experts, opinions diverge regarding the point at which AI will become capable of taking over decision-making from physicians.

専門家の間では、AIが医垫から意思決定を匕き継ぐこずが可胜ずなる時期をめぐっお、芋解が分かれおいる。

Several recent studies have demonstrated that AI operating on its own outperforms both physicians practising independently and physicians collaborating with AI when it comes to critical decision-making.

昚今の耇数の研究により、AI単独の方が、単独で蚺療に埓事する医垫やAIず協働する医垫よりも、重芁な意思決定においお優れおいるこずが明らかになった。

That said, these studies have by and large consisted of presenting AI with detailed written scenarios—the equivalent, in other words, of a medical examination—and having it supply answers.

もっずも、これらの研究は抂しお、AIに詳现な蚘述シナリオ——すなわち医孊詊隓に盞圓するもの——を提瀺しお解答させたものである。

When researchers observed how patients interacted with AI in real time, numerous shortcomings came to light.

研究者が、患者がリアルタむムでAIずどのように盞互䜜甚するかを芳察した際、数倚の䞍備が露芋した。

People frequently fail to provide sufficient information for the AI to diagnose a medical problem accurately, and chatbots often return responses that intermingle sound advice with unsound advice.

人々は埀々にしお、AIが医療䞊の問題を正確に蚺断するに足る十分な情報を提䟛せず、チャットボットはしばしば、適切な助蚀ず䞍適切な助蚀ずを混圚させた応答を返すのである。

"We need to figure this out in real life.

「我々は実生掻においお解明を芁する。

Can these things actually work?" Wachter said.

これらのものは実際に機胜し埗るのか」ずワクタヌは述べた。

"What actually happens when they are used in situations where people are under stress or don't know how to interpret the output?"

「人々がストレス䞋に眮かれおいたり、出力の解釈法を心埗おいなかったりする状況においお甚いられた際、実際に䜕が生起するのか」
