Artificial intelligence promises to change the practice of medicine, from identifying early radiographic signs of stroke to determining the most appropriate second line chemotherapeutic agent for a patient with cancer.

In this podcast, we will explore some of the promise offered by AI to the practice of medicine, while considering the profound ethical questions raised by that promise.
