ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Seventy billion dollars is flowing into health care AI, but the people building it and the patients who need it most are rarely in the same room.
On this episode, host Dr. Joel Bervell talks with pediatrician, researcher, and tech optimist Dr. Ivor Horn about what responsible AI innovation in health care requires. Drawing on her work building open-access datasets and equity frameworks for machine learning, Horn says that rigorous research, community partnership, and critical thinking are not obstacles to the work of building powerful tools — they are the work.
"If you build for the most vulnerable patients," Horn says, "you will build a better product for everyone."
