Bayesian Model Selection in Machine Learning Artificial Intelligence

Why should doctors and health care practitioners learn about artificial intelligence? This is one of the main topics we dive into in this episode of the Smarter Not Harder podcast with guest, Karl Friston.

Karl John Friston FRS FMedSci FRSB is one of the greatest scientists in history whose work has been cited over 245,000 times.

He is a British neuroscientist and theoretician at University College London. He is an authority on brain imaging and theoretical neuroscience, especially the use of physics-inspired statistical methods to model neuroimaging data and other random dynamical systems.

Karl gives us one cent solutions for the following $64,000 dollar questions:

1. What does "I am therefore I think" mean in the context of the free energy principle? And, what do psychedelics have to do with it?

2. How does one go about inventing in tools to investigate this connection hypothesis of schizophrenia?

3. Why should doctors and health care practitioners learn about artificial intelligence?

If you want to the answers to these questions, hold on tight, we're about to go on an extremely deep dive into these topics!
