Charlotte Blease is a health researcher exploring how AI can transform patient care by changing how healthcare works, making it more effective, ethical and responsive in ways humans alone cannot achieve. She focuses on what technology can do for patients, not just how AI works. She is currently Associate Professor at Uppsala University and Researcher at Harvard Medical School.

“Blease’s arguments have reframed how I think about AI’s role in medicine.”—Leana Wen, Washington Post“Change is inevitable and, as Blease’s thought-provoking book shows, necessary.”—Nick Rennison, Daily Mail“[Blease’s] evidence-driven sceptical approach is part of what makes this such a good book.”—Nigel Warburton, New World“Blease . . . sets professional pretensions against the lived reality of patients and uses this to set out the many ways in which suprahuman intelligence is bound to serve patients better.”—Richard Lehman, British Journal of General Practice“Comprehensive and highly readable.”—Terry Freedman, Teach Secondary“Brilliant. . . . A thorough, insightful, and timely exploration.”—Kenneth D. Mandl, Professor of Pediatrics and Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School“Medical professionals will no doubt wince. But patients should rejoice. This is a superb vision of the future of health care. I enjoyed the book immensely. Mandatory reading for doctors and policymakers.”—Professor Richard Susskind CBE KC (Hon), author of How to Think About AI and coauthor of The Future of the Professions“Few books manage to be this beautifully written and this unsparing. Dr. Bot is both a searing critique of medicine-as-we-know-it and a hopeful exploration of what care could become. Blease brings deep insight and rare clarity to one of the most urgent conversations of our time.”—Maxine Mackintosh, Alan Turing Institute“Dr. Bot is an intelligent, incisive exploration of why even the best doctors are only human—and why, if used wisely, AI could transform healthcare for the better.”—Steve Stewart-Williams, Professor of Psychology, University of Nottingham Malaysia“With a lively mix of medical data, ethics, and ethnography, Blease covers the waterfront of what Artificial Intelligence might mean for medicine and what to do about it. The result is a highly readable, and surprisingly human, discussion of technological change.”—I. Glenn Cohen, JD, Deputy Dean and James A. Attwood and Leslie Williams Professor of Law, Harvard Law School
