Demystifying the Ph.D. in AI: Journey, Challenges, and Innovations in the Medical Field

What's AI Podcast by Louis-François Bouchard

Welcome to this special episode of the What’s AI podcast. Today, it’s just you and me, no guests. For the new listeners, my name is Louis Bouchard, and I am currently doing a PhD in AI at Polytechnique Montreal and Mila. I wanted to take the time to talk about what I am doing: my Ph.D. in artificial intelligence. This episode is for you whether you are thinking of doing a Ph.D. or simply if you are curious and want to learn more about what’s it like to do a Ph.D. and do research in artificial intelligence. I wanted to demystify a bit what it is, what it looks like, or at least, in my case, in biomedical engineering. In this episode, I will cover my personal experience with the Ph.D. in general, doing research in AI, the challenges and reasons for doing a Ph.D., and more about how I’m using AI to help the medical field.
