Summary
AI Isn’t Coming. It’s Already Here. AI is writing, creating, diagnosing, educating, and showing up in places most of us never expected. The question isn’t whether it’s changing healthcare. The question is what happens when doctors and algorithms don’t agree. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Ali Giasi to talk about where AI is headed, what’s exciting, what’s terrifying, and why the future of medicine may look very different than most people realize. Some of it sounds incredible. Some of it sounds like a Black Mirror episode. In This Episode Will AI replace physicians or simply make them more effective? How avatars and virtual assistants could transform patient education The growing role of AI in surgical planning and clinical decision-making Why low health literacy may be one of healthcare’s biggest AI opportunities The promise and pitfalls of robotic surgery Who’s responsible when AI gets it wrong? The risks of overreliance on technology and losing critical thinking skills AI manipulation, cybersecurity threats, and unintended consequences What autonomous vehicles can teach us about trusting machines Why physicians should start learning AI now instead of waiting
