    AI Isn’t Coming. It’s Already Here.

    AI is writing, creating, diagnosing, educating, and showing up in places most of us never expected. The question isn’t whether it’s changing healthcare.

    The question is what happens when doctors and algorithms don’t agree.

    In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Ali Giasi to talk about where AI is headed, what’s exciting, what’s terrifying, and why the future of medicine may look very different than most people realize.

    Some of it sounds incredible.

    Some of it sounds like a Black Mirror episode.
