THE FUTURE IS HERE

Is AI Good For Your Health? | AI IRL

The reality of artificial intelligence in healthcare today isn’t autonomous robotic surgeons, but smarter diagnoses and faster drug research. How else is AI helping doctors make the next major medical advancement?

To find out, Bloomberg’s Nate Lanxon and Jackie Davalos are joined by Eric Horvitz, Microsoft’s chief scientific officer, Dr. Marzyeh Ghassemi, leader of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s “Healthy Machine Learning” group, and Dr. Peter Kecskemethy, co-founder of AI cancer diagnostics company Kheiron Medical.

Horvitz says AI creates new possibilities across various aspects of healthcare, including workflow, daily patient communication and identifying new medications, while Kecskemethy contends AI is already increasing detection rates in breast cancer screenings. But Ghassemi emphasizes the importance of ensuring best practices when using machine learning systems so as to prevent the extension of existing biases in society.
