In this episode of AI for a Better World, host C. M. (Cathy) Rubin speaks with Professor Pearse Keane, Professor of Artificial Medical Intelligence at University College London and consultant ophthalmologist at Moorfields Eye Hospital. Keane explains how a simple eye scan (OCT) plus AI can spot trouble early and help save vision at scale. From an NHS system overwhelmed by demand to a 2018 Nature Medicine breakthrough and the creation of INSIGHT—the UK hub with 35M images—Keane shares lessons on privacy, open science (RETFound), and the road from code to clinic. A hopeful, practical path to preventing blindness worldwide.
