🧠 AI Is Now Allowed to Practice Medicine in the US

For the first time, artificial intelligence has been granted the right to prescribe medication in the United States — without a human doctor involved.

The company Doctronic has launched a pilot program where its AI system:
• analyzes a patient’s medical history
• asks follow-up diagnostic questions
• issues prescriptions for chronic conditions
• sends them directly to a pharmacy

This marks a major shift in healthcare: AI is no longer just an assistant — it’s becoming a licensed decision-maker.

A glimpse into the future of medicine, where algorithms join doctors as independent clinical actors.
