The Future of AI in Medicine - A conversation with Dr. Sameer Antani

NNLM Discovery

Artificial intelligence is transforming our everyday lives. It also has the potential to transform medicine.
On this special episode of the NNLM Discovery Podcast, we spotlight some of the groundbreaking research being done at the National Library of Medicine (NLM). Guest producer Griff Partington interviews Dr. Sameer Antani, a Principal Investigator at the NLM doing research in medical imaging, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
Dr. Antani explains the differences between Machine Learning and AI and discusses how Computer Vision can be applied to screen for diseases such as cervical cancer, sickle cell disease and tuberculosis.

The NNLM is the outreach arm of the National Library of Medicine with the mission to advance the progress of medicine and improve the public health by providing all U.S. health professionals with equal access to biomedical information and improving the public's access to information to enable them to make informed decisions about their health.
All of the artwork for this podcast series has been created with a generative AI text-to-image tool! The text prompt for the episode's artwork was "an expressive oil painting of a robot and doctor working together looking at an x-ray.”
