AI in Healthcare: When Imperfect Tools Meet Real-World Use

Artificial intelligence in healthcare is already being used in practice—but those tools aren’t perfect.   In the final part of a three-part series, host J. Carlisle Larsen continues her conversation with Dr. Robert Wachter, Chair of the Department of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco and author of A Giant Leap: How AI Is Transforming Healthcare and What That Means for Our Future.   As these tools move into wider use, Wachter explains how their limitations show up in real-world settings—from questions about reliability to how they’re used by clinicians and patients.   The conversation examines what happens when imperfect systems are used in higher-stakes environments, and what that means for how AI is adopted going forward.  You can listen to Part 1 here.
