Saving Lives with Deep Learning & Robust Infrastructure - with Idan Bassuk, VP A.I., Aidoc

  • Summary

  • In this episode of Unboxing AI, I host Idan Bassuk, the VP A.I. at Aidoc, to chat about computer vision, NLP, and AI explainability in the medical field. During the episode, Idan discusses the challenges that should interest anyone who’s building an AI team for scale. For example: what type of roles does he have on his team? Is it engineering first or data first? Does the real world of production resemble the rich academic research in the medical space?

    GUEST BIO

    Idan was Aidoc's first employee. He started as an AI Algorithm and Software Engineer. Today he leads the A.I. Group, a 90 people group that concentrates all the efforts required for A.I. from dataset development, through algorithm research and engineering, and up to deployment and continuous monitoring in production at a scale of over 500 medical centers worldwide. Before joining Aidoc, Idan served for 10 years in the Israeli Defense Force. He started in the elite technological Talpiot course and later served as a team leader in a special operations unit. Idan finished his service as a Head of the Technological Section, leading defensive technological projects which were awarded Israel’s most prestigious defense award, for the success in detection of tunnels crossing the border to Israel.

    ABOUT THE HOST

    I’m Gil Elbaz, Co-founder and CTO of Datagen. In this podcast, I speak with interesting computer vision thinkers and practitioners. I ask the big questions that touch on the issues and challenges that ML and CV engineers deal with every day. On the way, I hope you uncover a new subject or gain a different perspective, as well as enjoying engaging conversation. It’s about much more than the technical processes – it’s about people, journeys, and ideas. Turn up the volume, insights inside.
