Artificial intelligence is often framed as a faster way to analyze information. But what happens when AI becomes part of the interaction itself?
In this TEDMED Conversation, computer scientist Deborah Estrin joins Jay Walker to explore how AI may reshape the relationships and systems that define healthcare, from patients and clinicians to phones, wearables, synthetic voices, and behavioral data.
