Healthcare is crucial. Yet healthcare systems in North America are falling behind. That’s why healthcare is constantly highlighted as the industry that will most benefit from AI. What can other industries learn from healthcare’s past and future implementations of AI?

Our guest is Spencer Dorn, the Vice Chair and Professor of Medicine at the University of North Carolina.

This is episode 23 and we’re exploring the challenges of implementing AI in complex industries:

➤ The successes and failures of AI in healthcare

➤ Adopting AI is very difficult & requires incentives

➤ Risk of AI inundating users with too much information

➤ Risk of undervaluing the importance of relationships

➤ Lessons for teams designing AI products in other industries
