No Alibis presents Dr Bot by Charlotte Blease: Book Launch

Book Launch

Join No Alibis in The Crescent Arts Centre for an evening with Charlotte Blease to celebrate the launch of her non-fiction title, Dr. Bot : Why Doctors Can Fail Us—and How AI Could Save Lives, published by Yale University Press.

Charlotte will be interviewed by radio presenter William Crawley

About Dr Bot:

How does AI compare to a doctor when it comes to saving lives?  

Doctors are under-resourced and face unprecedented levels of stress, with rising patient numbers and ever developing medical knowledge. But at the same time, they are all too human, prone to racial, class and social biases that affect the care patients receive.  Can we improve patient experience and alleviate the burdens of doctors at the same time?

In this groundbreaking study, Charlotte Blease reveals how AI, if handled with care, could emerge as the most reliable physician in history. Drawing on interviews with authorities in AI, doctors and patients, Blease shows how technology – despite some resistance – is already making a difference. From diagnosis and second opinions to treatment and aftercare, AI has the potential to revolutionise our healthcare.

Charlotte Blease is a health researcher exploring how AI can transform patient care by changing how healthcare works, making it more effective, ethical and responsive in ways humans alone cannot achieve. She focuses on what technology can do for patients, not just how AI works. She is currently Associate Professor at Uppsala University and Researcher at Harvard Medical School.
