AI can do a passable job transcribing what one person says. Add multiple voices and tangents, things get a lot murkier.

You're right, @sandeepkonam. " It is critical to ensure that the dataset is representative of the deployment setting and data quality is an important factor to be considered." #AI #Data #DecisionMaking https://t.co/xWt9w7AaeT

Automatic summarization will be commonplace across a whole range of applications soon. Great to see @GoogleAI's work on summarization of Google Docs (special kudos to them for also highlighting key challenges in the blog post💯)

(2/2) At the same time, I'm more bullish now than ever before on how AI can empower individuals and not just institutions. Super proud of all the patient-first work we've done at @AbridgeHQ!

(1/2) Check out my latest article w @glynelwyn on @FierceHealth! After spending close to a decade at the intersection of AI+Health, it still baffles me how little of all the AI research/applications/investments in healthcare are focused directly on patients
