Back to Episodes'The Next Big Idea Daily': The A.I. Will See You Now
Published 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
We’re used to hearing “the doctor will see you now,” but in the not-so-distant future, that doctor may not be human. That’s because human docs are prone to misdiagnosis, burnout, and bias — making our current healthcare system a leading cause of preventable death.
In Dr. Bot: Why Doctors Can Fail Us―and How AI Could Save Lives, medical researcher and philosopher Charlotte Blease makes the case that artificial intelligence could be the physician we need — more consistent, less prejudiced, and infinitely more resilient than the flesh-and-blood doctors we rely on today.
