Artificial intelligence (AI) has been integrated into almost every industry. In health care, AI has been used for detection and analysis and to help with physician burnout, but it is also susceptible to false information and bias.As health care systems adopt new technologies, there is a growing need for strong leadership and policies to ensure AI technology doesn't impact patient safety. Newsweek's Healthcare Editor Alexis Kayser is hosting a live webinar next week to explore how the health care industry is adopting AI."Health Care's AI Playbook: Building Safe, Smart and Scalable Systems" is a virtual event on Tuesday, May 20, that brings together AI experts in the health sector to discuss best practices for implementing AI innovation, enforcing checks and balances on new technology and building trust with physicians and patients."AI offers unprecedented opportunities to improve patient outcomes and revolutionize care delivery," Kayser said. "But this immense potential comes with a profound responsibility: especially in an industry like health care, where human lives hang in the balance. Industry-wide conversations dedicated to AI governance are essential to ensure that these tools are developed safely and equitably."The guests are experts working directly with AI in the health care industry.Dr. Andreea Bodnari, Founder/CEO of Alignmt.AIBodnari is a scientist by training (earning her PhD in Machine Learning from MIT), a serial entrepreneur, and former product executive at Google and UnitedHealth Group where she launched industry-winning AI platforms and products. At Google, she founded and scaled the B2B Healthcare AI product department. Bondari has been a reviewer at JAMIA for more than 10 years and is a member of CHAI and NIST AI Safety Consortium.Dr. Danny Tobey, Chair of DLA Piper's AI & Data Analytics PracticeTobey is a lawyer, software founder and medical doctor who has been recognized by the United Nations for his "profound insights on the intersection of AI, law and ethics." He has been recognized as Innovative Lawyer of the Year by the Financial Times and led Business Insider's list of top AI lawyers. Tobey has been invited to speak on AI and law and has written on technology and law for publications, including the Yale Journal of Law & Technology.Tobey has represented several of the major foundation model makers and six of the Fortune 10 on AI business enablement and risk management. His work on red teaming generative AI and proactive compliance was recognized by American Lawyer for 2024 best use of generative AI and by the Financial Times as the 2024 new service for the management of risk. Tobey is a founding member of the United Nation's AI Law & Justice Institute and has helped defend the first litigations involving AI hallucinations. His writing was recognized by the U.S. Library of Congress as "the best of the best in the legal profession."Dr. Brian Anderson, CEO/Co-Founder of the Coalition for Health AI (CHAI)At CHAI, Anderson focuses on developing consensus-driven guidelines and best practices for responsible AI in health and supporting the ability to independently test and validate AI for safety and effectiveness. He was previously the chief digital health physician at MITRE, where he led research and development efforts in digital health with government partners, including the White House COVID Task Force and Operation Warp Speed.Anderson is also an author and speaker on digital health and health innovations and previously led the Informatics and Network Medicine Division at athenahealth. He has also served on several national, and international, health information technology committees in partnership with the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).Dr. Michael Pencina, Vice Dean for Data Science and Chief Data Scientist at Duke Health, Director of Duke AI HealthAs vice dean, Pencina is responsible for developing and implementing quantitative science strategies for education and training and laboratory, clinical science and data science missions of the School of Medicine. He is a professor of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics at Duke University and previously served as Director of Biostatistics at the Duke Clinical Research Institute.Pencina is an internationally recognized authority on risk prediction model development and evaluation; is actively involved in the design, conduct and analysis of clinical studies; and interacts regularly with investigators from academic and industry institutions as well as the Food and Drug Administration. He also has 400 publication in peer-reviewed journals that have been cited over 111,000 times.In Kayser's latest edition of the Access Health newsletter, Pencina said health care has a lot to lose if humans fall out of touch. He compared AI to small children, who are more likely to do something "mischievous" if they are not being watched.In April, Kayser recently hosted a virtual event about cybersecurity threats to health care systems. Panelists from LevelBlue, Kyndryl and Zoom spoke with Newsweek about how artificial intelligence can be a tool but also could be leveraged by threat actors. For Kyndryl Vice President for U.S. Healthcare Trent Sanders, the quickest and easiest way for health care organizations to step up their security is to identify and eliminate unnecessary enterprise equipment that can pose cybersecurity threats.The upcoming AI virtual event will run from 2:15 to 3:15 pm EST.
