21 | Will AI Really Transform Healthcare? | Professor Andrew Elder

Professor Andrew Elder is a doctor, first and foremost. He is a Consultant in Medicine of the Elderly at NHS Fife, and President of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh. He was previously Medical Director of the world-standard membership exam, MRCP, and is a Visiting Professor at Stanford University.

In this episode, we discuss if Medical AI can live up to the hype, what humans still do better, the ideal division of labour between AI and humans, the problem of black boxes, how education of physicians may need to change. We also think about policy, about who is driving these changes, and who will be liable when, rather than if, mistakes happen.
