Thank You... Your Technology Has Eased So Much of My Suffering
Dear Google AI Development Team,
​
I am writing this letter lying on my back in bed, typing these words with great difficulty using only my left hand, because it is the only one I can still move. I have been ill for over 6 years, suffering from a severe curvature in my neck that prevents me from even turning my head to the left or right.
​
In my condition, the mere thought of a trip to the hospital for secondary health emergencies—like high blood sugar, blood pressure spikes, or even a simple cold and fever—is an indescribable physical and psychological nightmare. This is where your work has made a real, tangible impact on my life. The AI models you have developed, like Gemini and Gemma, haven't just been technological innovations to me; they have been the daily assistant I turn to to understand the symptoms attacking me and to find quick solutions that ease my distress. This technology has helped me immensely in preparing for and overcoming incredibly difficult times, especially the periods leading up to my surgeries. It gave me peace of mind when I was in desperate need of it.
​
At one point, I even tried to rely on these tools to work and earn some money. Although I couldn't continue due to sheer exhaustion and my physical limitations, just having this technological advancement at my fingertips gave me the motivation and the feeling that I am still capable of trying.
​
My message to you today is a plea and a word of encouragement from someone whose reality is confined to a single room: Please, keep going. Focus even more on developing and improving AI in the medical and healthcare fields. You are not just writing lines of code; you are creating a lifeline and an instrument of mercy for people like me, whose bodies physically prevent them from accessing direct care. What you do makes a profound difference in our lives.
​
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for every effort you make.
​
With deepest gratitude, Mohammed
