Guest: Jeremy Elser, Ph.D., Head of Science Operations, Palantir
Can generative AI meaningfully improve diagnostics—or is it just tech-world theater?
In this episode, DCN Dx’s Mitzi Rettinger sits down with Jeremy Elser, Ph.D.—a data scientist and strategist currently leading science operations at Palantir—to explore how diagnostics leaders can make sense of AI’s rapid emergence in our field.
They discuss:
- How to evaluate AI applications with scientific and operational rigor
- The difference between meaningful use cases and red-flag vendor pitches
- What generative AI can do for diagnostics—from institutional knowledge capture to faster decision-making
- Considerations for regulatory alignment and implementation
Plus, get a sneak peek at Jeremy’s upcoming keynote at ALFC 2025 and why this is the year diagnostics professionals need to sharpen their AI instincts.
