Nurses Unite: Rallying Against AI in Healthcare at Kaiser SF – NBC Bay Area
Nurses Protest Use of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
A group of nurses gathered outside Kaiser San Francisco to protest the increasing use of artificial intelligence in healthcare. They believe that the rapid implementation of untested and unregulated technology in hospitals poses a significant risk to patient care.
According to the California Nurses Association, AI tools are being introduced in various hospital systems, with Kaiser being one of the early adopters. While Kaiser claims that these new technologies can save lives by predicting and preventing emergencies through the analysis of electronic health data, nurses argue that AI cannot replace the human touch in patient care.
The Human Element in Healthcare
Nurses like Amy Grewal emphasize the importance of human empathy and connection in healthcare. Grewal states, “No computer or AI system can hold a patient’s hand or provide the same level of emotional support as a human nurse. Technology may have its benefits, but it cannot replace the essential human element in patient care.”
Despite the potential benefits of AI in improving access to patient data and facilitating treatment development, some experts caution against relying solely on technology for medical decision-making.
Kaiser’s Response
In response to the nurses’ protest, Kaiser Permanente issued a statement reaffirming its commitment to leveraging technology to enhance patient care. The organization emphasizes that AI tools are meant to support healthcare providers and improve patient outcomes, rather than replace human judgment.
“At Kaiser Permanente, artificial intelligence (AI) is used to empower our healthcare professionals and enhance the overall patient experience. While AI can offer valuable insights and assistance, it is not intended to replace the critical role of physicians and care teams in decision-making.”
Kaiser assures that the results generated by AI tools are rigorously monitored for accuracy and fairness, aligning with the organization’s dedication to inclusivity and health equity.

Shifting Demographics: Rise of Older Apartment Subscription Winners and Decline of Younger Generations
Among apartment subscription winners, the proportion of people in their 50s or older is increasing, while the proportion of younger generations in their 40s or younger is decreasing.

On the 23rd, Real Today, a real estate research company, analyzed the Korea Real Estate Agency’s apartment subscription winner data (as of March 25), and found that out of this year’s 19,978 winners, 4,595 were in their 50s or older, or 23 % of the total. The proportion of winners in their 50s or older has continued to increase to 19.65% in 2021, 19.77% in 2022, and 20.46% last year, and the increase has become greater this year. By age group, the proportion of winners in their 50s increased by 1.59 percentage points from 13.69% last year to 15.28% this year, and those in their 60s or older increased by almost 1 percentage point from 6.77% to 7.72% during the same period .
On the other hand, the proportion of young people in their 40s or younger among winners is falling. The proportion of winners under the age of 40 dropped from 80.35% in 2021 to 77% this year. The proportion of winners in their 30s or younger fell from 52.03% last year to 49.69% this year, and the proportion of winners in their 40s also fell from 27.52% to 27.31%.
Regarding this phenomenon, analysts in the real estate industry say that the younger generation is turning to the existing sales market rather than subscription due to the recent surge in pre-sale prices. According to the Housing and Urban Guarantee Corporation (HUG), at the end of March, the average selling price per m2 for apartments in Seoul was 11,498,000 won, up 23.91% from a year ago. Converted to 3.3㎡, it is 37,943,400 won, and in the case of 30 pyeong apartment, the selling price is well over 1.1 billion won. The average sales price per m2 in the metropolitan area, including Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi, was 7,773,000 won (25,659,000 won per 3.3 m2), an increase of 18% compared to the same month last year. Jang Jae-hyun, head of Real Today’s research department, said, “Many households in their 30s and 40s are concentrated in Seoul, and the fact that the number of apartments in Seoul this year is lower than in previous years also hastens the departure. of young people from the subscription market.” The number of apartments in Seoul this year was 24,139, down about 21% from last year (30,570 households).
Among subscribers in their 30s or younger, who are struggling to get an edge in the competition for additional subscription points, the theory that subscription accounts are worthless is growing. In a survey of subscription account holders conducted by real estate platform Dabang in January, 39.3% of respondents in their 30s or younger responded that “the subscription system is not effective.”
