The Promise and Pitfalls of AI in Medicine: Bob Wachter
Manage episode 413129469 series 1279663
Eric asks the question that is on many of our minds - is the future of AI more Skynet from Terminator, in which AI takes over the world and drives humanity to the brink of extinction, or Wall-E, in which a benevolent and empathetic AI restores our humanity?
Our guest today is Bob Wachter, Chair of Medicine at UCSF and author of the Digital Doctor: Hope, Hype, and Harm at the Dawn of Medicine’s Computer Age. Bob recently wrote an essay in JAMA on AI and delivered a UCSF Grand Rounds on the same topic. We discuss, among other things:
Findings that in several studies AI was rated by patients as more empathetic than human clinicians (not less, that isn’t a typo). Turns my concern about lack of empathy from AI on its head - the AI may be more empathetic than clinicians, not less.
Skepticism on the ability of predictive models to transform healthcare
Consolidation of EHR’s into the hands of a very few companies, and potential for the drug and device industry to influence care delivery by tweaking AI in ways that are not transparent and already a sort of magical black box.
AI may de-skill clinicians in the same way that autopilot deskilled pilots, who no longer new how to fly the plane without autopilot
A live demonstration of AI breaking a cancer diagnosis to a young adult with kids (VITAL Talk watch out)
Use cases in healthcare: Bob predicts everyone will use digital scribes to chart within two years
Concerns about bias and other anticipated and unanticipated issues
And a real treat- Bob plays the song for this one! Terrific rendition of Tomorrow from the musical Annie on piano (a strong hint there about Bob’s answer to Eric’s first question). Enjoy!
