152: AI in Pathology, ML-Ops, and the Future of Diagnostics – 7-Part Livestream 7/7

Send us Fan MailAI in Pathology: ML-Ops and the Future of DiagnosticsWhat if the most advanced AI models we’re building today are doomed to die in the machine learning graveyard? 🤯 That’s the haunting question I tackled in the final episode of our 7-part series exploring the Modern Pathology AI publications.In this session, I explored machine learning operations (ML-Ops)—what they mean for digital pathology —and why even the most brilliant algorithm can fail without proper deployment strategies, data infrastructure, and lifecycle management.But we don’t stop there. I take you on a future-forward tour through multi-agent frameworks, edge computing, AI deployment strategies, and even virtual/augmented reality for medical education. This isn’t sci-fi. This is happening now, and as pathology professionals, we need to be prepared.🔗 Full episode reference: Modern Pathology - Article 7: AI in Pathology ML-Ops and the Future of Diagnostics Read the paper🔍 Episode Highlights & Timestamps[00:00] – Tech check, community shout-outs, and livestream reflections [02:00] – Overview of ML-Ops: What it is and why pathologists should care [03:45] – What’s a Machine Learning Graveyard?
