You Let AI Write Code. Now Let It Save Your Life.

About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of AI in healthcare, including its potential to replace human professionals and the ethical concerns surrounding its use.

AI Healthcare just went from buzzword to business model: NYC's biggest hospital wants to fire its radiologists, California approved AI to prescribe psychiatric meds, and Hunter Powers hasn't written a line of code in a year. Hunter and Daniel Bishop argue over who gets sued when the robot misdiagnoses you, whether insurance companies (not regulators) will decide the future of AI medicine, and why if you already trust AI with your codebase you might as well trust it with your cancer scan.
