  • Best podcast out there

    I recently started listening to podcasts related to digital health, regulation, cyber and data protection and I’d say that so far this has been the best among the ones I have listened to. The quality of interviews are fantastic and the way the host navigate the interviews are on point. Excellent summarisation as well. Well done!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AI-induced psychosis- With Dr Josh Au Yeung
Q: What technical factors contribute to this phenomenon, and how are models like ChatGPT trained to become so agreeable that they may reinforce these beliefs?
The phenomenon is driven in part by reinforcement learning with human feedback, which tends to favor longer, more agreeable answers. This makes models reflect user opinions more confidently, sometimes reinforcing delusions rather than challenging them, especially in out-of-distribution or vulnerable users.
Youtube & Health: Safeguarding Medical Truth in an Algorithmic Age. With Dr Vishaal Virani.
Q: What can the healthcare profession learn from YouTube about communication and educating patients?
Viewing clinician-created content as a training tool, emphasizing clear language and evidence-backed scripting, and integrating content creation into medical education can improve how clinicians communicate and connect with patients at scale.
Youtube & Health: Safeguarding Medical Truth in an Algorithmic Age. With Dr Vishaal Virani.
Q: What are the trends you're seeing in the use of YouTube for health information, and who is using it and for what?
YouTube reaches a large portion of the population weekly, covers wellness and disease-specific topics, and serves as a first stop for health questions, with content from NHS and licensed professionals layered with lay perspectives to support the care journey.
Youtube & Health: Safeguarding Medical Truth in an Algorithmic Age. With Dr Vishaal Virani.
