Welcome back to The AI-Ready Doctor! In this episode, we’re breaking down the fundamentals of artificial intelligence for every clinician who’s ever said, “I don’t get AI and I don’t want to pretend I do.” Host Dr. Bencheqroun strips away the jargon and buzzwords to deliver clear, honest insights about what AI is, how it really works, and why it’s impacting healthcare right now.
If you’ve ever wondered how AI “thinks” (spoiler: it doesn’t think like we do!), what an algorithm truly means in practice, or why everyone’s talking about “prompt engineering,” this is your starting point. Discover the critical difference between automation and augmentation, get real about AI hallucinations, and understand why trust and verification are everything when integrating AI into clinical workflows.
Whether you’re excited, skeptical, or just plain curious, this conversation will give you practical metaphors, relatable examples, and actionable tips to not just keep up with AI, but to leverage it safely and confidently for your patients and your practice.
So, send this episode to your colleagues, buckle up, and let’s get AI-ready together.
