AI Is Quietly Rewriting Medicine—and Most Patients Have No Idea

from The Smerconish Podcast · host Michael Smerconish, Anthony Mazzarelli

Artificial intelligence is already transforming healthcare—often in ways patients don’t even realize. Listen as Michael sits down with Dr. Anthony Mazzarelli, physician, lawyer, and co-CEO of Cooper University Health Care, for a wide-ranging conversation about how AI is being used in medicine today and where it’s headed next. They explore everything from AI “ambient scribing” and clinical decision support to medical liability, patient consent, privacy, bias, and whether AI will ultimately strengthen—or weaken—the doctor-patient relationship. Dr. Mazzarelli explains why he believes AI can reduce burnout, improve care, and even restore compassion in medicine—if it’s used responsibly and with humans firmly in the loop. A thoughtful, practical discussion about one of the most consequential shifts in modern healthcare. Original air date 24 November 2025. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
