ChatGPT: Revolutionizing Healthcare with Dr. Robert Pearl | Why every physician will be using this technology to improve medical care | Redefining Society Podcast with Marco Ciappelli

Guest: Dr. Robert PearlOn Linkedin | https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-pearl-m-d-32427b98/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/RobertPearlMDHost: Marco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining Society PodcastOn ITSPmagazine | https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/marco-ciappelli_____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsBlackCloak 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbcwebBugcrowd 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbgcwebDevo 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspdvweb_____________________________Episode IntroductionWelcome to another episode of the Redefining Society podcast with Marco Ciappelli. Today's guest is Dr. Robert Pearl, a professor at Stanford and former CEO at Kaiser Permanente. The topic of discussion is ChatGPT, a technology that has recently made waves in the healthcare industry. Dr. Pearl explains that ChatGPT is a generative pre-trained transformer, which means that it has access to vast amounts of pre-loaded information and can apply it to generate the next word or idea. He compares it to what doctors do when they learn a lot of facts and generate a diagnosis and treatment plan for their patients.Marco and Dr. Pearl discuss the potential applications of ChatGPT in healthcare and how it can help doctors find diagnoses they might have missed otherwise. While it's still in its early stages, ChatGPT has shown promise in improving patient care by allowing doctors to double-check their thinking and find the most problematic complications that could arise.The conversation also touches on the challenges of adopting new technologies in the medical profession. Dr. Pearl notes that while it's important to embrace new technologies, blindly following them is not the solution. He highlights the importance of doctors maintaining their expertise and knowledge while using new technologies to supplement their work.As the conversation continues, the possibilities of ChatGPT become more apparent. Medical knowledge doubles every 73 days, and it's difficult for any human to keep up with that pace. ChatGPT, on the other hand, has the potential to become exponentially more powerful with each passing year, meaning that the tool doctors and patients will have in a decade or two will be significantly more advanced than what we have today.If you're interested in learning more about ChatGPT and its potential applications in healthcare, then this is the podcast for you.

Robotic Waterway Crusaders | Harnessing Autonomous Tech to Tackle Waterway Pollution | A Ranmarine Technology WasteShark Their Story with Alistair Longman

In this podcast episode, Alistair Longman from Ranmarine Technology joins hosts Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin to discuss their innovative solution for cleaning waterways using robots called "WasteSharks." Inspired by whale sharks, these devices can be either autonomous or remote-controlled and are designed to collect floating trash in coastal areas, lakes, and rivers before it enters the ocean.Alistair Longman acknowledges the challenges of raising awareness and funding for cleanup services, as they are often seen as a "grudge purchase." However, he remains optimistic about the potential of these technologies to scale and make a significant environmental impact. He also emphasizes that the WasteSharks are designed to be unobtrusive and able to reach difficult areas that larger cleaning boats cannot access.During the conversation, Sean Martin asks about the role of data collection and analysis in addressing the waste problem. Alistair notes that as the number of WasteSharks increases, the ability to collect data on trash accumulation, type, and location will become more valuable. This information will help inform more efficient and targeted waste collection strategies. Additionally, the team at Ranmarine Technology is working on developing AI for image recognition of trash, although it is still challenging.Marco Ciappelli wonders about the replicability of the WasteShark technology and its potential applications in other areas, such as oil spills or city trash management. Alistair explains that they are working on scaling the solution and developing docking stations and larger format vessels to tackle a broader scope of waste problems.Looking to the future, Alistair envisions a time when multiple WasteSharks will be able to communicate with each other in real-time to optimize their operations, making our waterways cleaner and healthier.Take advantage of this fascinating dive into the world of WasteSharks and their quest to keep our waterways pristine and free from trash and debris.Don’t waste any more time—tune in to this episode and let the wave of innovation sweep you away!Note: This story contains promotional content. Learn more.Guest: Alistair Longman, CTO and Chief Product Officer, Ranmarine Technology [@RanMarineTech]On Linkedin | https://www.linkedin.com/in/alistair-longman-37a7b41/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/alistairlongmanOn Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/alongman/ResourcesLearn more about Ranmarine and their WasteShark offering: https://itspm.ag/ranmarine-technology-xb52Lear how autonomous vessels can be use for monitoring and clearing waterways: https://itspm.ag/ranmarredrRanmarine On Linkedin | https://www.linkedin.com/company/ranmarine/Ranmarine On Twitter | https://twitter.com/RanMarineTechRanmarine On Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/RanMarineTechnologyAre you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-story____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastWatch the video version on-demand on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllR-1tkRvr1pr_3bRruZZgfZ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

She explains how we need to be more aware of the biases present in computational systems and be willing to protest when unfair decisions are made."Welcome to the show! Today, we have an exciting conversation with Meredith about the intersection of technology and society. Meredith is a data journalism professor at New York University, a researcher, and the author of two books, including her latest, "More Than a Glitch: Confronting Race, Gender, and Ability Bias in Tech." In this episode, we will explore how the problems of humanity are manifesting inside our computational systems, and why we should not have blind faith in these systems. We will discuss the widespread trust in computational systems, which is rooted in our inability to understand the complexity of the technology. However, with the increasing use of algorithms to make decisions on our behalf, we need to become more aware of what's happening inside these systems. We need to be able to protest when a decision is made that is unfair, biased, or systematically discriminatory.In "More Than a Glitch," Meredith demystifies AI and explains it in plain language so that people can feel more empowered around computational systems. She argues that we should not think of problems of racism or sexism, or ableism in our computational systems as glitches that are easily solved. Instead, we need to add more nuance to the way we talk about them. This conversation will give you a glimpse into the issues surrounding technology and society that are vital to understanding in today's world.So, join us as we delve deep into the topic of the intersection of technology and society with Meredith. Share this podcast with your friends and colleagues, and don't forget to subscribe, so you never miss an episode. Let's get started!About the bookWhen technology reinforces inequality, it's not just a glitch—it's a signal that we need to redesign our systems to create a more equitable world.The word “glitch” implies an incidental error, as easy to patch up as it is to identify. But what if racism, sexism, and ableism aren't just bugs in mostly functional machinery—what if they're coded into the system itself? In the vein of heavy hitters such as Safiya Umoja Noble, Cathy O'Neil, and Ruha Benjamin, Meredith Broussard demonstrates in More Than a Glitch how neutrality in tech is a myth and why algorithms need to be held accountable.Broussard, a data scientist and one of the few Black female researchers in artificial intelligence, masterfully synthesizes concepts from computer science and sociology. She explores a range of examples: from facial recognition technology trained only to recognize lighter skin tones, to mortgage-approval algorithms that encourage discriminatory lending, to the dangerous feedback loops that arise when medical diagnostic algorithms are trained on insufficiently diverse data. Even when such technologies are designed with good intentions, Broussard shows, fallible humans develop programs that can result in devastating consequences.Broussard argues that the solution isn't to make omnipresent tech more inclusive, but to root out the algorithms that target certain demographics as “other” to begin with. With sweeping implications for fields ranging from jurisprudence to medicine, the ground-breaking insights of More Than a Glitch are essential reading for anyone invested in building a more equitable future._____________________________ResourcesThe book: https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262047654/more-than-a-glitch/____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastWatch the webcast version on-demand on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllTUoWMGGQHlGVZA575VtGr9Are you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/advertise-on-itspmagazine-podcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
