    Dr. Michael Murphy and AI Programmer Chance Bair talk AI in Orthopedics....Promise, or Peril?

    Episode one in a Device Nation series examining what AI is bringing our way in the operative Orthopedic space, Grok describes our time today:  "AI programmer Chance Bair and Anderson Clinic Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Michael Murphy discuss the potential perils and pitfalls of integrating artificial intelligence into healthcare, particularly in orthopedics. They highlight AI's transformative potential, such as enhancing diagnostic accuracy and personalizing treatment plans, but cautioned against overreliance due to risks like algorithmic bias, data privacy concerns, and the potential for misdiagnosis if AI systems are not properly validated. Dr. Murphy emphasized the importance of maintaining human oversight to ensure patient safety, while Bair noted the challenges of developing transparent and ethical AI models in a rapidly evolving field. Both stressed the need for robust regulatory frameworks and interdisciplinary collaboration to balance innovation with accountability, ensuring AI serves as a tool to augment, not replace, clinical expertise."
