How will AI

A. I shape the future of medicine?

Whether it's CT scans, MRI, ultrasound,

we can see AI do at least as well if not better than expert physicians.

It's Monday January 22nd and today just like every day is science Friday. I'm Sci-Fi-Fi producer Shishana Bucksbaum. There's a bounty of

new research showing that artificial intelligence might improve medicine.

It's better at reading mammograms and radiologists.

And there's even a study showing that AI chatbots might be helpful in making diagnoses

for complex disorders, ones that are missed by doctors.

Ira Flato and guest host Sophie Bushwick talk with author and cardiologist Eric Topel

about the role of AI in medicine, its potential downsides, and take

listener calls.

Artificial intelligence AI has crept into so many different corners of society, especially medicine.

Yeah, while people have been fearful of what nefarious uses could be fall, AI,

I have been fascinated about new studies showing the

benefits of AI in medicine like being better at reading mammograms than

radiologists how AI can predict and diagnose diseases by analyzing

the retina. And we're going to talk about that. There's even research showing that AI

chatbots might be helpful in

making diagnoses of rare disorders, people using them themselves and ones that they

are even missed by doctors. But of course none of this comes without trade-offs about

security, privacy, cost, and the potential for AI to make medical mistakes.
