In this episode of the Digital Pathology Podcast, I explore the evolving role of Generative vs. Non-Generative AI in Medical Diagnostics. As AI continues to transform the medical field, understanding the differences between these two approaches is essential for pathologists, researchers, and healthcare professionals.

We break down the key concepts behind generative AI models (like ChatGPT and image-generation tools) and non-generative AI models (such as traditional machine learning for diagnostic support). I also highlight a groundbreaking seven-part AI review series published in Modern Pathology, which serves as a crucial reference for integrating AI into pathology.
