Megan McArdle Medical and legal professions are chronically understaffed and have enormous backlogs due to the sheer amount of menial stuff that these fields require. They will be some of the fields to experience the AI renaissance first and will see rapid job EXPANSION, not decline. /1

Megan McArdle As just one example, I advocate to raise awareness of fatty liver disease, which impacts ~80 million Americans, most of whom are unaware they have it Doctors resist universal screening which could help with early intervention because they cannot handle the volume of patients /2

Megan McArdle It takes years to train hepatologists and the second they are brought on their schedules are essentially booked solid forever. GPs can act as first-line but are also time-constrained to ten minute annual checkups for their patients. LLM AIs will transform this paradigm /3

Megan McArdle By processing screening results and providing detailed and informative diagnosis and action plans, we can free up medical specialists to focus on the truly relevant at-risk patients with more severe conditions. AI can provide realtime and lifelong follow-up and guidance too /end


This incredible event hosted by Economist Impact & the UN General Assembly challenged some of the traditional dialogue and narrative around NASH/NAFLD and issued a challenge: we have enough data to act now. Proud to attend on behalf of the ALF American Liver Foundation National youtube.com/watch?v=SGDEwn…




ALF is proud to have presented Rep. Nadler (D-NY) with the foundation’s Congressional Champion Award for his dedication to advancing living donor transplantation and protecting living donors through the Living Donor Protection Act. #advocacy #LDLT #donatelife #livingdonor



I was proud today to represent the American Liver Foundation at the 2025 Liver Life Advocacy Summit in Washington D.C. Dozens of advocates met with members of Congress and their staff to advance the ALF mission in a beautiful spring day. NJ Strong! American Liver Foundation National


Fox News Jay Bhattacharya PETA Jay Bhattacharya loved your comment on the rise of chronic disease...we had funding to AHRQ last year for the first Congressionally funded study on NAFLD/NASH. Over 90 million American's are estimated to have some form of this disease and we need more attention from NIH!
