How Will Machine Learning And AI Impact Healthcare Labor?
Two of the principal architects of AI’s role in healthcare see enormous opportunity ahead. But so many questions linger. What applications will be the most powerful? Where will clinicians and consumers more easily accept AI’s judgment? What type of healthcare entities – be they corporations, payers, providers – will be enhanced by AI and which will be undermined? This frank exchange between two titans will answer those questions and more.
