In 2017, Don gave the commencement address to the largest medical school in the US which happens to be his alma mater - the Indiana University School of Medicine. During his remarks, Don told the newly minted physicians that soon they would be working with AI not as a search engine, nor as a medical encyclopedia, but as a colleague. As Don describes it, "You could have heard a pin drop. The comment went over like a lead balloon." Yet less than ten years later, Don and his team formed Bioscope.ai to make that vision a reality. In early 2025, Bill Gates caused a much greater stir in the healthcare community by predicting that within a decade, the need for most physicians would disappear.
