Healthcare is crucial. Yet healthcare systems in North America are falling behind. That’s why healthcare is constantly highlighted as the industry that will most benefit from AI. What can other industries learn from healthcare’s past and future implementations of AI?

Our guest is Spencer Dorn, the Vice Chair and Professor of Medicine at the University of North Carolina.

This is episode 23 and we’re exploring the challenges of implementing AI in complex industries:
