Short of hidden military installations, particle colliders, or secret robotics laboratories, hospitals are some of the most complex digital environments on earth.

If someone ran past me hollering that they’d just encountered a magical checkout machine at the local gas station, I’d like to think I’m not so gullible that I’d believe them. Yet, to hear of a real-life, super powerful artificial intelligence with vision so fast and so advanced that it could instantaneously pick out the tiniest differences between multiple objects on a three-dimensional checkout plane? Even though in our modern days of mega-mind large language models and GPTs, an AI differentiating between thousands of items in seconds seems like something straight out of science fiction, this “magic checkout” isn’t point-of-sale make-believe.
