Description
In A Giant Leap, physician and healthcare expert Robert Wachter explores how artificial intelligence is beginning to transform medicine. Drawing on interviews with doctors, tech innovators, and policymakers, he shows how AI is helping with everything from drafting notes and interpreting images to recommending treatments and guiding surgeries. Wachter honestly addresses the risks-bias, errors, and misinformation-while highlighting AI's potential to improve care, reduce clinician burnout, and enhance patient experiences. Blending engaging stories with clear analysis, this book is a practical, hopeful guide to the future of healthcare in the age of AI.
