Can a machine diagnose, triage, document a case, or show empathy? AI is everywhere and the pace of change makes it difficult to know when to stop and take stock. In this episode, we explain how AI works for clinicians, what the evidence shows, what the risks and benefits are in healthcare, and what it means for our clinical practice.
