Welcome back to That Cancer Conversation! 


Artificial Intelligence is no longer science fiction. It's here and it's becoming part of our everyday lives. But what happens when AI steps into the world of healthcare? Could it actually help us beat cancer? 


In this episode we’re joined by Lara Lewington, a technology journalist and author of the bestselling book, Hacking Humanity: How technology can save your health and your life. Lara explains how AI is shaping the healthcare of tomorrow and how it could change the way we prevent, diagnose and treat cancer. 


We’re also joined by Professor Peter Coveney, from University College London. He discusses his work on digital twins - a virtual version of you that could help make real-life healthcare smarter and safer.  


We discuss the risks and benefits of AI and ask one of the biggest questions: could AI ever replace doctors?
