The useful part

As part of our ongoing series on artificial intelligence, we speak with researcher Shreya Johri, who says AI has the power to revolutionize the field of medicine, particularly in diagnosing patients. Johri is a postdoctoral fellow at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and completed her Ph.D. She discusses ways that new technology is improving patient care, but she says AI must be treated like an additional tool and not be given control over patient care.

How it works
