When AI and Doctors Disagree: Rethinking Medical Decision-Making

In this episode, Dr. Bryan Pilkington speaks with Dr. Giorgia Pozzi about the ethical and epistemological challenges that arise when AI systems and human clinicians disagree in medical decision-making. The central argument is that disagreement should not be treated as a problem that must always be resolved by automatically trusting either the AI or the physician. Instead, disagreement can be valuable because it can expose uncertainty, encourage critical thinking, and lead clinicians to consider options that neither party initially recognized.Guest:Dr. Giorgia PozziPostdoctoral Researcher, Delft University of TechnologyHost:Dr. Bryan PilkingtonProfessor of Bioethics, Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine
