The use of artificial intelligence in health care is exploding. Hospitals, drug companies, and researchers are racing to make use of the newest iterations, but rapid adoption of these products is outpacing our ability to separate hype from real progress.

Join STAT national correspondent Casey Ross as he breaks down the areas where artificial intelligence is making a difference and where it’s mostly empty promises. We’ll also discuss the companies operating on this frontier and the tensions between the profit motive, privacy, and the need to demonstrate benefits and safety for patients.
