Peter is working at the cutting edge of how to safely incorporate AI into medicine, training healthcare providers on the strengths and limitations of technology like GPT-4 in a medical setting. Reid, Aria, and Peter discuss how to regulate AI while encouraging innovation. Plus, Peter provides a fascinating live demonstration of GPT-4’s ability to listen to a patient’s symptoms and provide a second opinion, illustrating AI’s potential to bridge healthcare gaps and revolutionize care.

The award-winning Possible podcast is back with a new season that sketches out the brightest version of the future—and what it will take to get there. Most of all, it asks: what if, in the future, everything breaks humanity's way? Tune in for grounded and speculative takes on how technology—and, in particular, AI—is inspiring change and transforming the future.
This season, hosts Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger are speaking with a new set of ambitious builders and deep thinkers about everything from art to geopolitics, and from healthcare to education. These conversations also showcase another kind of guest: AI. Whether it's Inflection’s Pi, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, or other AI tools, each episode will use AI to enhance and advance our discussion.
