Key numbers: 42-minute video; less than a decade timeline; trillion-dollar valuation sought in the IPO. Why it matters: Physicians and AI critics disputed the timeline on X, with Germany's former health minister Karl Lauterbach calling it impossible in 10 years and others saying the claim was made to stoke IPO hype.
