Quotes From This Episode

We’ve all heard of, let’s say an asteroid coming towards the earth. The earlier you can catch it, with the smallest of intervention, you can veer it off course so it never hits, right? But if you catch it too late, then you have to throw everything you have at it, and you still don’t know if you can avert complete disaster, right? Modern medicine, the way it’s structured today, we catch things too late, and we throw everything we can at it. And often we do not have our disaster, right? This is where we see AI with these more and more sophisticated diagnosing capabilities, be able to understand somebody moving towards a certain disease state far earlier than we can today.

We need more and more emphasis on explainability of AI. There’s a lot of talk within the AI community about this, but only certain types of AI technology like ours, we have shown that it can be effectively used in a sort of practical way. But that is important for doctors to be able to understand why it’s making the decisions that it’s making.

The new generation of doctors that are getting trained, they’ll probably make the transition a little bit easier. But many of the older professionals will also have to make that transition. Much like using spreadsheets on a computer instead of a piece of paper, much like using calculators. AI is just another great aid to their profession.
