Will You Live to 120 with a Little Help from AI? with Dr. Eric Topol
This week, Kristen and I go full sci-fi (but, like, the real kind) with the one and only Dr. Eric Topol—cardiologist, author, and guy who’s been yelling for years that the way we do medicine is… less than ideal. We talk about how AI could transform healthcare, whether doctors are finally ready to embrace empathy, and why the average hospital still runs on fax machines and vibes. Oh—and don’t worry, I made sure to ask him if AI is going to come for my job. (Spoiler: probably.) It's a hopeful, sometimes uncomfortable, but deeply fascinating look at what medicine could be—if we don't screw it up.
Takeaways:
Why Dr. Topol believes the biggest failure in medicine isn’t technology—it’s the loss of empathy.
How large language models (like ChatGPT) are already reshaping diagnostics and documentation.
Why we should worry less about AI replacing doctors—and more about bad doctors using AI.
The shocking inefficiencies still plaguing hospitals (hello, fax machines).
What med schools might look like in the near future—and why humility should be part of the curriculum.
