Artificial intelligence is transforming education, healthcare, and the future of work faster than ever before, but are we ready for the change?
In this episode, we sit down with Mike Harb, AI researcher, consultant, trainer, and founder of Sila, an educational technology startup that uses AI-powered games to make learning mathematics more engaging. Mike has also contributed to AI research in healthcare, exploring how machine learning can support medical decision-making and improve patient outcomes. Through Sila, his team has piloted educational games in Lebanese schools, demonstrating how interactive learning can boost student engagement and academic performance.
Together, we explore how AI is reshaping classrooms, whether it can help address Lebanon's education crisis, the growing use of ChatGPT among students, and the skills teachers and learners need to thrive in an AI-driven world. We also discuss AI's expanding role in medicine, from diagnosing diseases and interpreting medical images to the ethical and legal questions surrounding trust, responsibility, and patient privacy.
Whether you're a student, educator, healthcare professional, policymaker, or simply curious about the future of artificial intelligence, this conversation offers practical insights into one of the most transformative technologies of our time.
