The AI Doctor Debate: Autonomous AI in Healthcare with Ezekiel Emanuel, MD, PhD

Will AI replace doctors? Ezekiel "Zeke" Emanuel, MD, PhD, thinks autonomous AI will soon manage a lot of what physicians do today, starting with chronic disease and the side effects of chemotherapy, and that the better it gets, the more likely a human override is to add errors rather than catch them. His recent JAMA papers made the argument in print. In this episode of AI and Healthcare, oncologist Sanjay Juneja, MD sits down with Emanuel, an oncologist, bioethicist and Penn's Vice Provost for Global Initiatives, to talk through where autonomous AI in healthcare arrives first, where it will fail, and what is left for physicians when it does.
