Will AI replace natural health practitioners?

The Short Answer: No, AI cannot replace the therapeutic alliance, physical observation, or the empathetic intuition of a human practitioner. While AI can process data faster than a human, it lacks context, emotional intelligence, and the ability to physically examine a patient. Health is bio-psycho-social, and AI fails at the “psycho-social” connection.

What AI Will Replace: AI will not replace practitioners, but practitioners who use AI will replace those who don’t.

• AI will replace the admin of writing endless notes manually.
• AI will replace the drudgery of scheduling social media posts.
• AI will replace the struggle of writing newsletter drafts from scratch.
