Sleepwalkers

Algorithm, M.D.

A.I. is already better than human doctors at diagnosing skin and breast cancer. And as machine learning advances, it's becoming able to decode more complex information, like brain waves and the human genome. A.I. is beginning to revolutionize medicine, and allowing us to see into the future of our bodies...but can we ever know too much about ourselves? What will happen when machine learning lets us open our own black boxes?  In this episode: Physician and author <a href="http://siddharthamukherjee.com/">Dr. Siddhartha Mukherjee</a>, Google X founder and Kittyhawk CEO <a href="http://robots.stanford.edu/">Sebastian Thrun</a>, <a href="https://people.csail.mit.edu/regina/">Regina Barzilay</a> of MIT's J-Clinic and CSAIL, <a href="https://www.neurobio.pitt.edu/faculty/schwartz.htm">Dr. Andy Schwartz</a> of the University of Pittsburgh, <a href="https://www.tri.global/team/dr-gill-pratt">Gill Pratt</a> of the Toyota Research Institute.
