In this episode of In Conversation with AI, Sebastian lets “Doctor Bot” take the mic — and the results are equal parts fascinating and unnerving. From AI spotting cancers earlier than doctors to predictive analytics that can forecast diabetes before it strikes, we explore how algorithms are reshaping healthcare.
But the story doesn’t stop in the hospital. We pull back the curtain on the real infrastructure running the show — the massive data centers where your most private medical scans sit alongside your Amazon shopping history and YouTube cat videos. Big Tech’s role in storing the world’s health data sparks questions about privacy, power, and whether we’ve put too many eggs in the same digital basket.
Expect candid questions, sharp answers, and a few raised eyebrows as we tackle the future of medicine, the risks of centralising health data in the cloud, and what happens when your diagnosis comes with an AWS invoice.
Press play if you’ve ever wondered: Would you trust your doctor… if your doctor was a bot?

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
