What if the world's medical knowledge fit in your doctor's pocket? Recorded live at NVIDIA GTC in Berlin, the second episode of Season 3 of The Optimist brings the big AI conversation back to something deeply human: our health. Dale Rickert talks with Kimberly Powell, Vice President of Healthcare at NVIDIA, about how agentic AI could free doctors from the paperwork that can consume up to half their working day, and how simulation and robotics are making cancer treatment more precise.

The conversation also turns to trust. When should a human stay in the loop, and what changes when medical knowledge is available at the point of care? Kimberly shares her own path, from dial-up AOL to leading NVIDIA's global healthcare business, and her hope for healthcare that reaches everyone, everywhere.

The Optimist is presented by TECH by Handelsblatt Media Group and independent from the Handelsblatt editorial team. With the Technology Experience Convention Heilbronn (TECH), Handelsblatt Media Group, Handelsblatt and Schwarz Digits are creating a strategic platform to strengthen the European tech ecosystem. TECH‘s mission is to establish a „cluster of optimism“, connecting Europe’s most influential leaders across technology, industry, politics, and academia. More at tech-europe.org
