AI in Healthcare: Will the Reality Match the Hype?

The 14th annual Lundberg Institute Lecture features Robert Wachter of UCSF and his predictions about what advances artificial intelligence will make, and will not make, in health care.

Why has health care not undergone the kind of digital transformation that has completely remade industries ranging from retail to entertainment to travel? Wachter will discuss health care’s bumpy road to digital nirvana, and why, to paraphrase Hemingway, generative AI may lead to medicine’s “gradually, then suddenly” moment.

Join us for a preview of the ideas Dr. Wachter discusses in his latest book on AI and health care.

This program is made possible by the Lundberg Institute.
