AI-Driven Care Vs. The Human Connection
Description:
Drs. Robert Pearl and Jonathan Fisher explore the inherent tensions between generative AI and humans in this provocative debate about medicine's future. Pearl, author of the new book “ChatGPT, MD,” argues that AI can improve the efficiency and standards of medical care while Dr. Fisher, author of “Just One Heart,” advocates for human empathy and connection as essential for better healthcare. The two will address whether humans and machines are truly in conflict or if they can coalesce to fix the broken U.S. healthcare system and repair the fractured doctor-patient relationship.
