In 2025, a drug with both its target and molecule designed entirely by
AI completed human clinical trials. It worked. That's just one of the
things AI is quietly doing inside medicine right now. In Episode 4 of
AI at Work, we go inside healthcare AI — how it reads scans, discovers
drugs, writes clinical notes, and personalises treatment to your biology
— plus the serious risks of bias, hallucination and a wrong diagnosis.
Hosted by Oliver & Olga, with deep-dives from Anastasia & Sophia.
🔍 What you'll learn:
• How AI reads scans and outperforms specialists on specific tasks
• The first fully AI-designed drug that worked in human trials
• How "self-driving labs" are compressing drug timelines from 10+ years to 3–6
• Why ambient AI scribes cut physician burnout from 51.9% to 38.8% in 30 days
• The bias problem: why medical AI can fail minorities and women
• Why AI scribes can hallucinate drug dosages — and what's being done about it
• What medical foundation models and continuous monitoring mean for your future health
