📍 Location: Exact address given in confirmation email 🧠 Lecture: "AI vs. the MD" 🎤 Speaker: Dr. Pierre Elias Everyone is talking about AI these days, with promises ranging from driverless cars to certain Armageddon. But what happens when artificial intelligence enters the exam room? Can we separate hype from reality in medicine? Join us for an eye-opening evening with cardiologist, AI researcher, and Columbia professor Dr. Pierre Elias as he unpacks how AI is already reshaping healthcare—and what it means for your next doctor’s visit. From diagnosing disease to predicting risk and personalizing treatment, he’ll explore where AI is truly delivering, where it’s falling short, and what ethical questions still remain. Dr. Pierre Elias is the CEO of Pathway Labs, an Assistant Professor of Cardiology at Columbia University, and the Medical Director for Artificial Intelligence at NewYork-Presbyterian, a top 10 health system in the nation. In 2026, Business Insider named him one of the 25 most influential people in artificial intelligence. Come challenge your assumptions about doctors, data, and the future of healthcare.
