Hugging Face lead medical researcher Dr. Cyril Zakka on how AI will change healthcare forever

10/22/24 • 54 min

Hugging Face is one of the leading names in artificial intelligence and now they've launched an initiative to harness AI in the medical field. Leading these efforts is Dr. Cyril Zakka, a fellow at Stanford's Hiesinger Lab where a team of researchers have been creating new intersections between AI, cardiac imaging, and robotic surgery.
Dr. Zakka joins Adario Strange to explain his childhood experience as a coder and later his entry into the medical field, which set him up to be the perfect bridge between AI and medicine. Later, the two unpack the future of medical treatment with AI, what Hugging Face is doing to impact that outcome, and what AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton winning the Nobel Prize means for how the world perceives and engages the rapidly changing AI space.

The recent election season proved that many traditional mainstream media businesses have lost their way, as social media and independent creators suck up much of the attention and revenue. The rise of generative artificial intelligence would seem to threaten to deepen the news media’s woes, but Nota CEO Josh Brandau has a different vision for how journalists and publishers can harness the power of AI to evolve into the next era of news production.

Adario Strange gets Josh to dive into what moved him from traditional media into the AI startup world, then the two explore the current state of major newsrooms using AI to pivot, publishers fighting AI in court to ensure future profits, and how audiences will need to revamp how they consume information to avoid being pulled into the growing vortex of fake news.
