TP37 - Are Machines Taking Over Healthcare?

1 hour 5 minutes

With Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and the rise of computer-assisted technologies, hosts Reed Smith and Chris Boyer dive into an almost philosophical discussion on whether machines are poised to take over healthcare. Is the Singularity upon us? With a discussion on how computers have developed more intelligence and the rise of computer learning, the hosts discuss a number of trends in which computers are becoming smarter than humans (with Natural Language Processing and image identification). This episode features an expert interview with Nathan David of the Cleveland Clinic, in which he discusses how they are using machine learning to help improve their digital advertising to support patient acquisition.
