Join Jake Brown on Ask a Pathologist Podcast: Innovators in Action as he speaks with Dr. Todd Randolph, a board-certified anatomic and cytopathologist with nearly three decades of experience, practicing digital pathology since 2016. Dr. Randolph offers a unique, long-term perspective on artificial intelligence (AI) and its current and future role in digital pathology.

Dr. Randolph, an early digital pathology adopter, discusses why AI's "tidal wave" hasn't yet hit the pathology world.
- He shares his experience with diagnostic AI for prostate specimens, noting its over-sensitivity and cost-prohibitiveness as current hurdles.
- However, he sees AI becoming invaluable as algorithms improve, particularly for less specialized pathologists, potentially setting a new "standard of care" and driving reimbursement.
The conversation then shifts to Dr. Randolph's compelling vision for "virtual pathology assistants" – AI tools that combine diagnostic capabilities with administrative support.
- He envisions AI automating tasks like patient/slide identification, history presentation, case pre-annotation, report generation, and billing code entry.
- This would drastically improve pathologists' efficiency, allowing them to focus on core diagnostic expertise.
Dr. Randolph believes this integrated AI approach will make pathology more efficient and potentially reveal insights beyond current human capabilities, fundamentally reshaping the field.
