The (AI) doctor will see you now? Exploring the potential of artificial intelligence in healthcare


Listen Later

Imagine getting access to potentially life-saving medical care or screenings in the same place you buy shampoo. Thanks to artificial intelligence — coupled with advances in telehealth — this is already happening.

The impact of AI on healthcare certainly raises important questions, such as whether AI will ultimately replace your doctor or simply help them better do their jobs. To explore this, Nic Dunn sat down with Naomi Lopez, founder and principal of Nexus Policy Consulting and contributor to a range of state-based public policy institutions. They discuss the promises and potential concerns that may arise as the use of this technology becomes more widespread.
