Healthcare Providers & ChatGPT Will See You Now: Our Brave New World

Originally broadcast June 8, 2023

The World Health Organization has issued a statement expressing concern about artificial intelligence in health care. In 2023, Mayo Clinic’s then-Chief Information Officer Cris Ross joined us to discuss it. He led innovation projects at Mayo Clinic for over 30 years and told us “perhaps” we should be worried about ChatGPT.

“These technologies are value-neutral but their usage is not necessarily value-neutral. Bad people can use good technology for bad purposes. So I think there’s a very robust debate about whether these technologies should be regulated, whether they can be regulated, and if they are regulated, how we should do that,” Ross told us at the time.

Listen in on this encore presentation as Ross takes hosts Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter through this brave new world that promises to affect every part of health care.
