Artificial Intelligence can prioritize which patients to treat based on the severity of their symptoms and their risk of clinically worsening. It can review tests like mammograms 30 times faster than humans and bring down the need for unnecessary biopsies. Wearable technologies can monitor vital signs and symptoms and deliver personalized health recommendations. And AI scribes can document conversations at medical visits and increase clinical efficiency. These advances also bring up issues around trust, liability, privacy, bias, and patient safety. David Bates tells us about the kinds of tasks AI can best help clinicians with and how this is changing the way health care will be delivered going forward.

We've managed -- barely -- to make it through another week of the kakistocracy. However, there have been a few gimmers of light in these dark days. Thousands turned out across the country in the first of what will likely be many acts of protest against the undemocratic and unconsititional usurptation of power by this administration and the courts (at least those that have not yet been co-opted) have begun to hit back at the overreach. This week's Audio Ecotone does its small part by providing a soundtrack for the Days of Resistance, with selections this week from Billy Bragg, Nina Simone, the Bug Club, Danny Elfman, Les Breastfeeders and more.
