Artificial intelligence and machine learning is being leveraged in every facet of society to improve efficiency and drive innovation. Healthcare is no different. Language models, algorithms, machine learning, and more are being developed and used to help with education, behavior change, administrative tasks, predictive risk assessments, and at times, disease diagnosis.

In today’s episode, we discuss areas where the healthcare industry is harnessing artificial intelligence. With such powerful technology at our fingertips, it is always important to take a pause to debate the exciting capabilities but also its limitations and biases.
