In this episode, Ed Daniels and Brick Thompson ask the question, “Will AI make healthcare data standards obsolete?” AI tools like GPT-4 can transcribe and “understand” doctors’ notes. Ed explains how they can generate standardized codes based on natural language. Will AIs eventually be able to code and exchange data on their own without using the data standards we have worked so hard to create? Check out this interesting discussion. For those who want to read about this topic, here is a link to a Medium.com article Ed wrote on this subject: https://medium.com/@edbdaniels/ais-impact-on-healthcare-data-standards-36b6347d70bb

The name of this podcast, Beyond Electric Sheep, is a reference to the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick. That novel is the source for the movies Blade Runner (1982) and Blade Runner 2049 (2017). It explores the themes of artificial intelligence, empathy, and reality in a dystopian future where humans and androids coexist.
