Artificial Intelligence & the Social Role of Medicine Redefined

from Health Ethics Podcast · host Bryan Pilkington

In this episode, Dr. Bryan Pilkington speaks with Dr. John Lantos about how artificial intelligence is reshaping medicine, particularly the doctor–patient relationship. He situates current concerns within a broader historical pattern of technological disruption in medicine, emphasizing that the true value of physicians lies not just in knowledge, but in navigating uncertainty and building trust with patients. He argues that AI will not make doctors obsolete but will redefine their role toward being interpreters of technology and stewards of patient-centered care.Guest: John D.
