Artificial intelligence is transforming our everyday lives.  It also has the potential to transform medicine.

On this special episode of the NNLM Discovery Podcast, we spotlight some of the groundbreaking research being done at the National Library of Medicine (NLM).  Guest producer Griff Partington interviews Dr. Sameer Antani, a Principal Investigator at the NLM doing research in medical imaging, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.

Dr. Antani explains the differences between Machine Learning and AI and discusses how Computer Vision can be applied to screen for diseases such as cervical cancer, sickle cell disease and tuberculosis.

At NNLM discovery we’ve jumped on the AI bandwagon too.  All of the artwork for this podcast series has been created with a generative AI tool!

The NNLM is the outreach arm of the National Library of Medicine with the mission to advance the progress of medicine and improve the public health by providing all U.S. health professionals with equal access to biomedical information and improving the public’s access to information to enable them to make informed decisions about their health.
