Joel Gordon, Chief Medical Information Officer at UW Health, addressed the importance of trust in the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) within healthcare at the Reuters Digital Health conference. He warned that without governance and transparency, public trust could be easily compromised, hindering progress, as seen in past fields like gene therapy. While some health systems have started developing AI governance frameworks, a lack of cohesive national guidelines remains. Gordon advocates for the formation of learning consortiums to unify research methods across health systems, enhancing collaboration and minimizing redundancy. He recognizes the early stage of AI integration and emphasizes the need for a coordinated approach to data and objectives in order to navigate forthcoming advancements effectively.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has published a draft update to the NIST Privacy Framework (PWF), the first revision since its original release in January 2020. The updated version 1.1 aims to improve usability and align more closely with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), incorporating revisions to its structure and content, along with new sections on artificial intelligence and privacy risk management. The PWF maintains a sector-agnostic approach, allowing organizations to effectively manage privacy risks and enhance transparency while integrating their privacy and security practices.

Recent data from KnowBe4’s Q1 2025 Phishing Report indicates a troubling trend in phishing attacks, particularly those impersonating internal IT and HR departments. Over 60% of successful phishing emails referenced internal teams, with nearly half specifically citing HR, using enticing subject lines related to common workplace activities to lure employees into clicking malicious links. These sophisticated tactics exploit the trust employees have in their internal teams, while fake login pages imitating popular platforms like Microsoft and Google continue to deceive users. The report emphasizes the necessity for organizations to enhance employee training and awareness to recognize potential phishing threats, advocating for robust security measures and consistent training sessions to mitigate the risk of successful attacks.

Theresa McDonnell, chief nurse executive at Duke University Health System, leverages her experience as both a healthcare executive and an oncology nurse to combat clinician burnout. She is spearheading initiatives that utilize virtual reality for workplace safety training and artificial intelligence for staffing optimization. The VR training addresses feedback from nurses, providing immersive simulations that enhance conflict de-escalation skills and decrease incidents of workplace violence. Meanwhile, AI tools improve staffing efficiency, reduce nurse overtime by 23%, and boost retention by 18% by providing better schedule predictability. McDonnell's focus on involving nurses in the development of these tools fosters a supportive work environment.
