010 The AI Tipping Point in Medicine - Why Now?
Manage episode 500602154 series 3678442
AI in medicine has reached a clear tipping point. But what are the specific factors driving this rapid progress? This episode breaks down the three essential pillars: the explosion in clinical data, massive leaps in computation, and recent, powerful breakthroughs in algorithms.
We explore how mature algorithms from outside of medicine, particularly in image and natural language processing, are now being repurposed for clinical use. You'll also learn why the biggest hurdles for AI in healthcare are no longer necessarily the algorithms themselves, but the practical challenges of accessing high-quality clinical data, system integration, and the costs of computation.
This is your essential primer on the core components of modern clinical AI, providing the foundation needed to evaluate new health tech tools.
