  1. AI’s Bias in Predictive Healthcare with Associate Professor Marzyeh Ghassemi

    NOV 27

    AI’s Bias in Predictive Healthcare with Associate Professor Marzyeh Ghassemi

    Associate Professor Marzyeh Ghassemi discusses why, despite its tremendous potential for good, AI must be approached with caution, especially in high risk areas like healthcare. Biases in training data can perpetuate real-world inequalities, providers might rely too much on potentially faulty AI, and tools created for one demographic might not necessarily translate to a different population. However, considering the incredible potential of AI to tackle challenges in transformative ways, it’s worth approaching these considerations with rigorous academic insight.

  2. AI in Healthcare with UCSD Prof. Karandeep Singh & Robot Conversations with CSAIL Prof. Andreea Bobu

    NOV 4

    AI in Healthcare with UCSD Prof. Karandeep Singh & Robot Conversations with CSAIL Prof. Andreea Bobu

    This month’s podcast is a double feature. First up, Associate Professor and Chief Health AI Officer at the University of California San Diego Karandeep Singh explains the reality of using artificial intelligence for medicine. Professor Singh extrapolates on what works, what doesn’t, and how some challenges are social rather than technical. Plus, MIT CSAIL’s Assistant Professor Andreea Bobu explains how large language models are advancing the field of robotics. Thanks to LLMs, giving directions to robots might soon look more like a conversation, without the need for step-by-step commands.

    How companies can rebuild trust around data with Danny Weitzner

    Founding Director of the MIT Internet Policy Research Initiative CSAIL Senior Research Scientist Daniel Weitzner says a lack of visibility about how personal data is being used is leading to an erosion of customer trust. However, companies increasingly need to leverage data for analytic advantage, generative AI applications, and more. His research focuses on solutions which would empower consumers with visibility and control of their data, facilitating a future of accountability and trust.
