Healthcare AI's 'Giant Leap' with Dr. Bob Wachter

Jesse chats with Dr. Bob Wachter, Professor and Chair of the Department of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. Together, they discuss Bob's new book, A Giant Leap: How AI Is Transforming Healthcare and What That Means for Our Future; why the current healthcare AI boom is different from the many past waves of health tech hype; unintended consequences of electronic health records and lessons from the EHR rollout that could guide AI deployment in healthcare; the balance between AI replacing doctors and assisting them; what's preventing AI from reliably outperforming human clinicians; how healthcare systems can guard against automation bias; what healthcare could look like if this "giant leap" succeeds; and much more. Get Bob's new book, A Giant Leap: How AI Is Transforming Healthcare and What That Means for Our Future. Jesse also reflects on this key headline: From BBC News, AI chatbots for medical advice can be risky and even dangerous, according to research from the University of Oxford.
