Artificial intelligence is about to be scaled up in a big way in health care. Is the medical field ready? Are we?

Ohio is one of six states in a pilot program using AI to help decide whether certain medical procedures should be approved for Medicare.

Across the U.S., healthcare systems are tapping into the technology by using AI to help with charting, diagnosing, surgeries, even caregiving.

Proponents say AI is a necessary game changer, perhaps leading to lower costs.

Others are more cautious, pointing to AI-related lawsuits and questions about how it will be regulated.

Today on All Sides, an AI primer in medicine: from application to implementation to regulation.

Guests:

• Todd Baker, CEO, Ohio State Medical Association
• Amy Andres, senior vice president of health strategy, Ohio Hospital Association
• Bill Balderaz, CEO, Futurety
