Artificial intelligence promises faster notes, smoother workflows, and smarter clinical decisions. But behind every seamless interaction lies an invisible cost—electricity, water, and carbon emissions that rarely enter the healthcare conversation. In this episode, we trace what happens after you hit “enter” on a clinical prompt. From power-hungry GPUs to evaporative cooling systems in data centers, we uncover the hidden infrastructure fueling AI and how metrics like PUE translate convenience ...

#15 - When Algorithms Know Your End-Of-Life Wishes Better Than Loved Ones
What if the person who knows you best isn’t the best person to speak for you when it matters most? We explore a study that tested just that—comparing the CPR preferences predicted by loved ones with those predicted by machine learning. The result? Algorithms got it right more often. That surprising outcome raises tough, important questions: Why do partners misjudge? And could AI really support life-and-death decisions when seconds count? We unpack the study’s approach in everyday terms: who...
