1. I used to recruit for the medical device industry

Most of the design/development engineers were mechanical or electrical back then.

There are 3 levels of devices: Class 1 are things like bandages and stethoscopes (not much risk.) Class II are a bit more involved, like hearing aids. Class III are the riskiest, and include implants, like pacemakers.

I don't think I'd want AI involved in anything to do with Class III devices.
