Dr. Michael Mansour of Massachusetts General Hospital is an early adopter who's helping with a form of AI that could someday change the way doctors access information.
Mansour specializes in invasive fungal infections in transplant patients. "Got a nice picture of mushrooms in my office," Mansour says with a laugh. "I just really enjoy helping patients through, you know, pretty devastating mold and yeast infections."

I agree with our friend PV2 Sellnow: do we really want AI driving our medical choices? In a separate thread, we see driverless cars being pulled due to safety concerns. Will driverless AI be any better?
