Will AI finally fix healthcare, or create a whole new set of problems? Dr. Robert Wachter, chair of the Department of Medicine at UCSF, joined us to discuss his new book, A Giant Leap: How AI Is Transforming Healthcare and What That Means for Our Future. Katie Hafner, host and executive producer of the Lost Women of Science podcast, moderated the conversation. This conversation was recorded on June 30, 2026, at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. It was made possible by the generous support of the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation.
