"Evenhanded and insightful." -Publisher's Weekly(starred review)
"An accessible, often fascinating primer.... Essential, illuminating reading." -Kirkus
From the author of theNew York TimesbestsellerThe Digital Doctorcomes an engaging, clear-eyed, and ultimately hopeful examination of healthcare's efforts to embrace generative artificial intelligence.
InA Giant Leap, physician and thought leader Robert Wachter navigates between hype and skepticism to make a compelling case for AI's power to transform healthcare. He argues that, in a system buckling under the weight of bureaucratic pressures, soaring costs, and clinician burnout, AI doesn't need to be perfect-it only needs to be better.
Drawing on extensive research and more than 100 interviews with pioneers across medicine, technology, policy, and business, Wachter shows how AI is already entering hospitals and clinics to draft notes, field patient questions, recommend treatments, interpret images, and guide surgeries. He unflinchingly confronts risks like hallucinations, biases, and misinformation, while revealing how AI can now match, and sometimes surpass, physicians in areas ranging from diagnosis to empathy.
But this isn't simply a technology story. It's about the human choices that will determine whether AI becomes healthcare's salvation or another source of harm and frustration.
Blending clinical insight, vivid storytelling, and journalistic precision,A Giant Leapoffers an indispensable roadmap for healthcare leaders, clinicians, and patients. Itis a vibrant and timely account of how AI is changing what it means to care-and be cared for-in this age of astonishing technology.
