Mike chats with Dr Joe Kosterich about the growing use of AI in GP clinics.

Back in the ’90s, most doctors didn’t even use computers—now AI is the next big shift. While only a few GPs use it today, many will within five years.

AI can create detailed clinical notes, freeing up doctors to focus more on their patients. But there are important issues too: privacy, patient consent, and the need for doctors to review and approve all AI-generated records.

Dr Kosterich maintains that handled properly, AI could improve healthcare—but it must be managed wisely.

Mike speaks with Daniel Wild, Deputy Executive Director of the Institute of Public Affairs, about his opinion piece criticizing former PM Malcolm Turnbull’s stance on AUKUS.

Wild argues Turnbull has hit a “new low” by engaging with Elbridge Colby, a key Trump-era official now overseeing the AUKUS review, in what Wild sees as an attempt to undermine the pact—motivated by bitterness over being replaced by Scott Morrison’s submarine deal.

Wild also slams Kevin Rudd’s ongoing role as U.S. ambassador, citing his past insults toward Trump, and criticises PM Albanese’s recent China visit as political pandering and potentially self-serving.
