When Should You Trust a Machine With Your Life?

Could AI robots be better at diagnosing you than your actual doctor?

Healthcare AI sounds promising until you realize it can't tell the difference between your seasonal allergies and that weird parasite crawling up places it shouldn't be. We sit down with an actual MD, Dr. Ajit Barron-Dhillon, to discuss the terrifying reality of AI in healthcare, why digital diagnosis might make us dumber, and how insurance companies could weaponize medical AI to deny you even more coverage.

Three main benefits from this episode:

1. Learn the real limitations of AI in medical diagnosis and when you should still see an actual human
2. Discover how AI could be useful as a bridge between therapy appointments for mental health support
3. Understand the potential dangers of automated healthcare in our profit-focused medical system
