  • Episode 3: Radiology, with Dr. Ryan Appleby
    Episode 3: Radiology, with Dr. Ryan Appleby Veterinary AI Brief Podcast 4 subscribers Analytics Edit video 0 Share Promote Download In this episode of AI for Vets, hosts Robert and Dr. Adam Little are joined by Dr. Ryan Appleby, a board-certified veterinary radiologist, to explore the evolving role of AI in veterinary medicine. The conversation dives into how AI is being adopted in veterinary radiology, highlighting the differences in regulation and innovation compared to human medicine. Dr. Appleby explain that while AI tools can streamline administrative tasks and improve workflow, large language models like GPT-5 are not reliable for direct image interpretation and can sometimes provide convincing but incorrect answers. The episode discusses the financial incentives behind marketing AI tools to general veterinarians, the lack of transparency and oversight in current veterinary AI products, and the risks of misdiagnosis and increased costs when AI is used without radiologist input. Real-world examples illustrate both the promise and pitfalls of AI in image analysis, emphasizing the need for human oversight and critical thinking. The hosts and guest stress the importance of transparency, informed consent, and collaboration between AI developers, radiologists, and practitioners.

  • Episode 4: AI in General Practice - Communications and Diagnostics
    What happens when a practicing veterinarian takes AI out of the hype cycle and into the exam room? In this episode of The Veterinary AI Brief, we're joined by Dr. Bill Tancredi, practice owner and early AI adopter, to explore how large language models are reshaping his veterinary workflows. From softening emotionally charged client communications to expanding diagnostic differentials, Dr. Tancredi shares real examples of AI as a practical colleague - not a replacement. We dig into the difference between accuracy and usefulness, why the "jagged frontier" of AI matters for medicine, and how veterinarians can start today with simple, high-leverage use cases that save time, preserve emotional energy, and improve patient care. If you've ever wondered how to actually apply AI in daily practice, this conversation delivers both inspiration and actionable steps.

  • Episode 8: The Day ChatGPT walked into the Exam Room, with Dr. Andy Roark

    This episode of The Veterinary AI Brief gets real the moment a client in a euthanasia consult says, "I'm going to ask ChatGPT what to do." From that human, high-stakes scene, guest Dr. Andy Roark (Uncharted Veterinary Conference; longtime pulse-check for practitioners) joins hosts Robert Sanchez, Adam Little and Aaron Massecar to unpack what AI is doing to the identity of general practice - and how to keep care human. We start with the U.K. CMA's push for price transparency and ask whether bottom-up tech in North America will force similar change. Rourke argues the danger isn't transparency itself; it's commoditization - when "a neuter is just a neuter" and nuance disappears. He lays out a vivid framework: use AI as an accelerator, not a crutch; beware the "easy-button" path that atrophies clinical judgment; expect a cultural and economic pushback phase driven by misapplication and weak ROI; and prepare for unpredictable watershed moments that shape public comfort with AI.
