Richard’s Answer

For my career, AI intimidates me. I am a radiologist. I believe that computers will surpass humans at interpretation of medical imaging within my lifetime.

But if that happens it could be better for society if AI can reduce medical errors.

Valerie’s Answer

Hi there, as a current medical student I think AI can help the medical field. There are some specialities where AI seems intimidating such as radiology or pathology. However, physicians are needed to confirm diagnoses and there needs to be human-human interaction. This is very evident right now during this pandemic because even though we are doing telecommunication for patients, they need to do testing, and touch and feel the patients issues.

Rahul’s Answer

Personally , I am of the opinion that book based learning is more thorough and productive. I would try to keep myself away from app based learning (in an ideal world) and the construct around it as much as possible. Would advice you to always live in the real world and not get swayed by the deals/choices that the apps offer (while ensuring that your interaction with App based technology remains mostly productive).
