In this compelling episode of AI or Not, host Pamela Isom welcomes Dr. Lisa Kinnard, a seasoned engineer at the FDA, to discuss her journey in electrical engineering, AI applications in radiology, and the critical gaps in STEM education and diversity. Dr. Kinnard recounts her academic path, beginning at Howard University, and her pioneering work in medical imaging and AI during the early 1990s. She highlights the alarming disparities in breast cancer detection, particularly triple-negative breast cancer, which disproportionately affects young Black women. The conversation also delves into AI’s transformative role in radiology, from aiding in cancer detection to improving outcomes in rural hospitals. Dr. Kinnard emphasizes the urgent need for diversity in clinical trials and STEM fields, citing the underrepresentation of African Americans in research and education. Together, they explore actionable solutions, from early education initiatives to increasing awareness of STEM opportunities. This episode is a must-listen for those passionate about AI, healthcare, and equitable innovation.
