What Does the AMA Say About AI?

03/18/24 • 8 min

In this episode, I cover AMA's recent report on the Future of Health, in which they summarize the current #ai landscape, and argue persuasively for the use of "augmented intelligence" rather than "artificial intelligence." They close with stats on the desire of physician stakeholders to be involved early and often in AI use case definition, evaluation, and implementation.
