Will AI Replace Doctors?
About this episode
Dr. Naqvi and Dr. Ahmed explore whether AI will replace doctors, concluding it's more likely to augment than replace them. They discuss AI scribes and ambient note-taking, image-based diagnosis in radiology and dermatology, ER triage, the liability question when algorithms err, overfitting and biased data sets, wearables for AFib and heart failure detection, and provocative ideas like AI avatars of deceased loved ones and physician 'holograms' seeing multiple patients at once.
