On ‘Psychology Behind the Headlines,’ hosts Patricia Wu, Jessica Reyes, and guest therapist Ryan Heapy discusses the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine, particularly in radiology.
The Rise of AI in Radiology
AI is revolutionizing radiology by assisting doctors in interpreting medical scans and providing diagnoses. While this technology holds great promise, questions remain about its impact on patient care and the doctor-patient relationship.
The Human Element in Healthcare
Heapy emphasizes the importance of human involvement in healthcare, particularly when it comes to critical decisions like diagnosis and treatment. He believes that while AI can be a valuable tool, it should not replace human expertise.
The Future of AI in Medicine
AI will continue to play a significant role in healthcare, but it will ultimately be up to humans to determine how this technology is used. He cautions against blindly embracing AI without carefully considering its potential consequences.
