This is a NYC AI Week event. 

We’ve all seen the headlines. "AI Outperforms Doctors in Diagnosing Cancer." "The Robot Will See You Now." The hype is deafening. Artificial intelligence is poised to revolutionize healthcare, promising to catch diseases earlier, eliminate administrative burnout, and unlock personalized treatments we could only dream of a decade ago. But what's the reality on the ground? Is AI a trusted co-pilot for clinicians, or is it just another layer of tech creating more problems than it solves? Does it empower doctors to be more human, or does it turn them into data-entry clerks for an algorithm they can't explain? Let's be real: "better" isn't about beating a human at a single task. It's about better outcomes, better experiences for patients, and a better, more sustainable life for the people on the front lines of care. So, let's ask the hard questions. Join us for a no-holds-barred conversation that cuts through the noise. We're bringing together physicians, startup innovators, hospital leaders, and patients to debate the motion: Doctors + AI = Better? We'll explore: The Good: Where is AI already making a real, measurable difference in the clinic? The Bad: What are the hidden costs of implementation, the risks of algorithmic bias, and the potential for deskilling our medical workforce? The Ugly: When AI gets it wrong, who's responsible? And how do we build trust in a black box when a patient's life is on the line? Whether you're a doctor curious about the tools of the future, an innovator building them, an investor trying to find the signal in the noise, or a patient who just wants the best care possible, this conversation is for you. Come ready to listen, learn, and challenge. Let's figure out how to build a future where technology serves humanity, not the other way around.
