Artificial Intelligence Will Make Medicine More Human Again (w/ Dr Eric Topol)
Event Description:
Asking Siri or ChatGPT for medical advice right now is a terrible idea. But major breakthroughs in AI and language processing are poised to revolutionize many industries, including medicine. While our first fear is that AI will replace human jobs, Dr. Eric Topol is far more optimistic. The world-renown cardiologist and author has been studying how AI can free doctors from the administrative burdens of the medical business, spend more meaningful time discussing care with patients, and allow patients to self-diagnose far more accurately and efficiently. But as with all emerging tech, the optimism must be balanced with risk. This week, Jonathan speaks with Dr. Topol about how your next visit to the clinic could be very different.
