For the next several episodes we will be focused on cancer care from the physiological, mental and nutritional and clinical oncology aspects of cancer. We will also discuss the recent research that promises cures for some cancers.

Today, we’re excited to welcome Dr. Wendy Garvin Mayo to the show! Dr. Mayo is a healthcare leader with over 20 years of experience in clinical practice, leadership, research, and academia. As the CEO of Collaborative Cancer Care, she’s dedicated to transforming mental health support for cancer patients, their families, and oncology professionals.

In addition, she’s the creator of The Stress Blueprint, a consulting firm helping healthcare professionals manage stress through emotional intelligence. Dr. Mayo’s contributions have earned her multiple awards, including the University of Saint Joseph’s Distinguished Alumni Award and the University of Connecticut’s Outstanding Alumni Award.

AI, there is nothing artificial about it. And that's the danger.

Dr. J. Craig Wheeler is a renowned astrophysicist and professor of astronomy at the University of Texas. Unlike futurists, he applies the rigors of physics to the question of how technology affects humanity, making him a unique voice and thoughtful counterpoint. He was one of the original signators on the infamous letter calling for a temporary pause of work on AI in March 2023. He is the author of the new book The Path to Singularity: How Technology Will Challenge the Future of Humanity, with the foreword written by Neil deGrasse Tyson. You can find out more about Dr. Wheeler's writings at: https://jcraigwheeler.ag-sites.net/index.htm

In this episode we talk about the potential threats from AI, how a machine learns and what happens if AI becomes emergent. Can we really predict what AI will become. Self aware AI is one thing. But what if it becomes something else that we can't even imagine? Listen in as we discuss these and other topics.
