In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Charlotte Blease, an informaticist and philosopher and the author of Dr. Bot: Why Doctors Can Fail Us and How AI Could Save Lives. The book has generated sharp reaction within medicine by advancing a simple, uncomfortable claim: that in some cases, continuing to rely on human clinicians may be ethically inferior to turning decisions over to machines.
We discuss physician authority, resistance to technology, and the danger of empathy in clinical care. This conversation examines a future in which judgment, accountability, and moral responsibility may no longer reside primarily with the physician.
Resistance to this idea is part of what we examine.
