Quotes from Episode 6: AI and the Future of Healthcare with Dr. Marco Rossi
AI is transforming healthcare, but it can’t replace human expertise. Dr. Marco Rossi, an AI scientist with 20+ years of experience, joins Dr. Rubin and Dr. Kellen to discuss how AI can aid diagnosis and treatment—while warning against over-reliance. They highlight the need for human responsibility, the risk of losing essential skills, and why, as Dr. Kellen notes, “the human component is so important to sift through and diagnose correctly.”
“I worry about the loss sometimes of my profession, in a way. I think everyone in the back of their mind wonders sometimes, ‘Will my job still be there or will AI completely take over?’”
- Dr. Rubin
“As long as the human is the one who has the end responsibility, the decisions, whatever the human is going to use as information, whether it’s a book written 50 years ago, a university course, a training he or she just did. As long as the human is the final mode of the decision and the responsibility is the key, then the human is the one who bears the consequences. But using this model of responsibility, you can solve this logically, meaning, every human will have an incentive to know the tools, to test them in a way that is controlled and to iterate quickly if there are issues or red flags.”
- Dr. Rossi
“I think AI gives you a lot of information. I would be a little nervous or uncomfortable relying on AI to interpret a standard physiological test more efficiently or accurately. I think, again, you get a lot of valuable information from AI but at the end of the day the human component is so important to sift through the information and diagnose correctly.”
- Dr. Kellen
