This book explores how AI can revolutionize areas like medical imaging, health records analysis, and suicide prevention, presenting practical applications and real-world examples.

The narrative is enriched with personal anecdotes, including Dr. Tetteh’s work at the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC) leading the Warfighter Health Mission for the Department of Defense. He also shares insights from his time as Ship’s Surgeon on the USS Carl Vinson, and combat surgery experience in Afghanistan to highlight where AI could improve medical logistics and patient care during deployments. The book emphasizes the importance of ethical AI and data diversity in advancing medical practice, making it a crucial read for healthcare professionals, military personnel, technology enthusiasts, and policy makers.

Review

“This book reveals Hassan Tetteh’s vast knowledge grounded in his extraordinary range of experiences, including leading a team in the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC) at the Pentagon, serving as a combat surgeon, and working as a highly trained heart and lung transplant surgeon, as well as his expertise in policy analysis acquired at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Public Service. Despite the book’s erudition, it is lucid and engagingly written. It succinctly draws together a wide array of information and perspectives. I don’t know if anyone else could have written this book. They would need Hassan Tetteh’s precise knowledge, extraordinary range of experiences, skill as a writer, and exquisitely honed ethical sensitivity. AI is an intensely technical field, yet this book stands out for its humanity. The implications of AI can often seem unnerving, but this book gave me hope that AI may ultimately serve rather than deter human needs.”

“What could be more important than protecting the health of those who serve our country and defend us all? In doing that important task, what could be more essential than remaining open minded and yet critically minded toward new possibilities? We need people who embrace the new, who train themselves to grasp the unfamiliar, who do not see AI as intrinsically a threat nor intrinsically a godsend that will solve all our problems. Professor Hassan Tetteh is such a scholar. He evaluates AI’s potential as a powerful tool and does so with the hard mind of a rock-solid scientific thinker.”
