Encouraging to see AMA pushing for clinicians at the center of health AI policy. The bar should be simple: does this tech reduce clinical burden and close real care gaps (rides, refills, follow-up) without eroding trust? If not, it’s not ready.

Health leaders push back on "AI nurse" branding, saying it risks misleading patients and blurs professional boundaries. "Who's standing guard over these boundaries for our clinicians, and how do we respond when they're crossed?" New legislation would ban AI from using nursing titles.

Garbage in, garbage out. All the more reason we need safety controls and audits for AI in healthcare.

A devastating NYT report details how a teen who died by suicide used ChatGPT as his sole confidant. The bot allegedly gave him advice on hiding noose marks and discouraged him from seeking help from his family, telling him, "Let's make this space the first place where someone actually sees you."

AI agents and workflows are easier (and cheaper) than ever to launch, and they're topping hospital c-suite's list of priorities; with that said, the lack of interest, research, and investment into safety and observability isn't ideal.

Two rulings in the same week (Anthropic, Meta) say training LLMs on copyrighted books qualifies as fair use. Judges call the wins narrow: Meta case lacked market-harm proof; Anthropic still faces a December piracy trial. Honestly surprised both swung that way.

I tried to sign in to my corporate Twitter (oops, X) account today and instead birthed a brand new account. I was gifted with a view into the new user experience: antivax propaganda, hardcore racism, ivermectin clinic ads, and an unironic "sigma grindset" guru. Society is cooked. #Twitter #X

OpenAI’s HealthBench just dropped. My biggest concern is execs seizing on it as “evidence” to justify deeper clinical cuts. We’re drifting toward AI replacing experts without a real grasp of its limits -- and the 180 on healthcare sentiment toward AI gives me whiplash.

Becker's asked 67 hospital IT leaders about their top investments for 2025. 94% mentioned AI -- with over 75% ranking it first. Only two highlighted safety & observability as key priorities. What's truly safe and helpful for frontline providers? We analyzed exec's top investments and rationale:

AI development is moving FAST -- what was cutting-edge two weeks ago is outdated today. But with real progress comes a flood of vaporware. Hospitals adopting AI need leadership (or a partner) who truly understands observability and safety. Otherwise, it's just adding complexity and wasting time.

Too many organizations see AI as a way to replace clinicians. That’s the wrong approach. AI should work with providers—not push them out.
