Ep 1. The AI will see you now | Prof. Akshay Chaudhari

Akshay Chaudhari is a Professor at Stanford University where he leads the Medical Intelligence for Medical Imaging group. Akshay is a leader in applying deep learning to medical imaging and works across modalities from MRI to X-rays to CT as well as other sensors. We have a far ranging conversation from leveraging GenAI to train medical classifiers to where the future of computer vision is going. Hope you enjoy!

We survive and thrive by solving each problem as it comes up. And since the human ability to transform nature is limited only by the laws of physics, none of the endless stream of problems will ever constitute an impassable barrier."  - David Deutsch, "The Beginning of Infinity"
