MEDICAL RECORD: WHAT A NEW STUDY TELLS US ABOUT THE USE OF AI IN TREATING HOSPITAL PATIENTS
Libby Znaimer is joined by Dr. Alisa Naiman, a family doctor in Toronto, Dr. Amol Verma, Clinician-Scientist at St. Michael's Hospital and Temerty Professor of AI Research and Education in Medicine at the University of Toronto, and Dr. Aaron Schimmer, the Director of Research at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre as well as a staff physician and a senior scientist.
Today we discuss a groundbreaking study co-authored by Dr. Amol Verma on the use of AI and how it has contributed to a 26 percent reduction in unexpected deaths for patients being treated in hospital. And, should we be moving away from the Body Mass Index and instead use the Body Roundness Index (also known as BRI)?
THE DEBATE AROUND THE FILM "RUSSIANS AT WAR" WHICH SPARKED CONTROVERSY AT THIS YEAR'S TIFF
Libby Znaimer is now joined by freelance journalist Justin Ling and Chris Alexander, Canada’s former ambassador to Afghanistan and Minister of Immigration under former Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
"Russians at War" was going to premiere at TIFF this year but was cancelled amid public backlash and protest. The festival said they suspended the screenings of the film in response to "significant threats". But this week, the film was back on. Yesterday’s screening was greeted by another demonstration by members of the Ukrainian community and supporters claiming that this was just a piece of Russian propaganda. Was this censorship or an attempt to fend off Russian propaganda from infiltrating us and influencing our elections and our people?
PIERRE POILIEVRE EXPECTED TO INTRODUCE NON- CONFIDENCE MOTION NEXT WEEK
Libby Znaimer is joined by Bob Richardson, a Public Affairs Consultant, and Jason Lietaer, a Conservative Strategist and President of Enterprise.
Pierre Poilievre is set to introduce a non-confidence motion next week. The question is, can the Conservatives get the support they need from the Bloc Québécois and NDP? And, if they fail, what can we expect from the Conservatives in future in terms of trying to get a vote of non-confidence? Meanwhile, did you see the video of NDP leader Jagmeet Singh confronting protestors on Parliament Hill? Did he do a good job of responding to the situation?
