Episode How Far Can AI Go in Medicine? Cover

How Far Can AI Go in Medicine?

As a young pathologist, Riyad El-Khoury spent long days hunched over a microscope—an intense, repetitive craft where fatigue is part of the job. Today, as associate professor of pathology and head of the Muhieddine Al-Ahdab Neuromuscular Diagnostic Laboratory at the American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC), he’s helping push pathology into a new era: AI-assisted diagnosis. In this episode, El-Khoury explains why the first big shift is going digital—turning glass slides into high-resolution images that AI can analyze at scale—and why the next leap may be even bigger: prediction. He also explores a provocative possibility: a future where AI moves beyond assistance and, in some workflows, operates autonomously—raising urgent questions about bias, generalizability, interpretability, and what it will take to build systems that are safe, equitable, and worthy of clinical trust.

Episode Can Collective Recovery Endure? Cover

Can Collective Recovery Endure?

What happens when a disaster hits—and the state can’t (or won’t) respond? In this episode, urban studies professor Mona Harb, co-founder of the Beirut Urban Lab at the American University of Beirut, takes us inside Beirut’s post–port explosion recovery through the lens of “urban commoning”: the collective creation, repair, and shared management of urban spaces and resources outside state control. From Nation Station—a community hub born in an abandoned gas station—to a citywide ecosystem of organizers, nonprofits, faith-based networks, professional teams, political actors, and diaspora-led initiatives, Harb’s research traces how communities became de facto urban governors. But the episode also explores the limits: why some efforts stalled under politics, property disputes, donor constraints, and neighborhood tensions—and what it would take for urban commons to endure.
