Data Nation

Robot Doctors, Who's a Fan of Them?


Listen Later

Artificial intelligence – it's not the easiest thing to trust when it comes to our healthcare. I mean, will AI replace our doctors in the future? There's a lot of uncertainty about algorithms deciding our medical fate, so Liberty and Scott are getting the truth on AI's role in healthcare. They go to the experts to explore the problems behind biased algorithms and faulty diagnoses, and discover if AI will cause harm to patients or if it will progress the medical field farther than it could ever go.

Liberty and Scott talk with Caroline Uhler, co-Director of the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard; and Niels Olson, Chief Medical Officer at the United States Defense Innovation Unit.

Data Nation is a production of the MIT Institute for Data, Systems, and Society and Voxtopica.
