    Episode 48: Skin cancer: how can AI help with detection? With Cody Simmons, CEO of Dermasensor

    Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer globally, with millions of cases diagnosed each year. Its prevalence is rising due to factors like increased sun exposure, aging populations, and lifestyle changes. The main types of skin cancer include melanoma, basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), with melanoma being the deadliest. Early detection is crucial for successful treatment, as skin cancer can often be treated effectively if caught early. However, diagnosing skin cancer can be challenging due to the wide variety of skin conditions and the complexity of distinguishing between benign and malignant growths. Traditional methods of detection, such as visual inspection by dermatologists and biopsies, are time-consuming, subjective, and prone to human error. AI systems, particularly deep learning and computer vision models, are being increasingly applied to help address these challenges. These AI tools can analyze medical images of skin lesions with high accuracy, sometimes surpassing dermatologists in diagnosing skin cancer. They can quickly identify suspicious moles or growths, enabling earlier and more accurate diagnosis. AI systems can also assist in classifying lesions into categories (benign or malignant) and track changes over time, improving long-term monitoring. The potential benefits of AI in skin cancer detection include faster diagnosis, reduced workload for healthcare professionals, and improved patient outcomes through early intervention. As AI technology continues to evolve, it may become a key tool in reducing the global burden of skin cancer.

    Episode 47: Academia and Industry: love match or marriage from hell? With Prof Shai Shen-Orr of Technion

    One of the landmarks in AI was the work on neural networks in the 1970s by Geoffrey Hinton, the "Godfather of AI". This work took place at the University of Edinburgh. This laid much of the groundwork for the plethora of modern AI-based applications so academia and the corporate sector are two very different but essential types of crucible for AI research what is a relationship between them? Is it a loving partnership? Or is it more like a Hollywood marriage with crockery regularly being thrown against the wall? With to explore this important but under-discussed area is Prof Shai Shen-Orr, Associate Prof. at Technion, the Israel Institute of Technology.

    Episode 45: AI doctors: how close are they? With Robert Sargsyan, CEO of Docus. Will AI doctors eventually replace human doctors? Are they already doing so? On one hand, people like the human touch of human doctors. On the other hand, human doctors get tired, are limited in terms of the amount of data they can handle and tend to be overstretched. So where are we with the development of AI doctors? Joining me is someone at the cutting edge of this fascinating topic, Robert Sargsyan, CEO of Docus.

    Episode 42: Is the medical profession a force of resistance in AI adoption? With Dr Jethro Hubbard.

    Some have suggested that the medical profession is a force of resistance in AI adoption, that it is prioritizing the protection of jobs, potentially at the cost of patients Is there any truth in that? Or is the medical profession actually protecting patients by resisting an overhasty rush to AI adoption? With me is someone who is perfectly placed to discuss this, Dr Jethro Hubbard. He is a GP. And he was also instrumental in the introduction of the BMA policy on healthcare AI integration.
