Is A.I. Going to Remedy Medicine’s Problems?

Ground Truths

About

Thank you Bruce Lanphear, Clyde Wilson, Tracy Dennis-Tiwary, Diego Pereyra, Dr Mike Hunter, and many others for tuning into my live video with Charlotte Blease! Join me for my next live video in the app.

Whether A.I. will transform the practice of medicine in a positive way remains controversial. Health researcher Prof Charlotte Blease, on faculty at Uppsala University in Sweden and researcher at Harvard University, has written a new book —Dr. Bot—that critically assesses the unmet needs in healthcare and whether A.I. can fulfill them. She provides an optimistic viewpoint (see the subtitle), and our conversation probes whether that is justified. She has a substack, too, here

Thanks for listening to Ground Truths. Through analytic essays and podcasts, I try to cover the important issues and discoveries in life science and medicine. If you have suggestions for topics I should get into, please pass them along.
