AI Adoption in Healthcare: 'You Need to Trust But Verify' Says CIO

August 29, 2024

Healthcare systems and hospitals should adopt AI tools with cautious optimism, advises Doug King, CIO of Northwestern Medicine. Despite the hype, it's crucial to validate the effectiveness of AI tools in clinical settings, particularly for early disease detection and enhancing clinical efficiency for healthcare providers. Northwestern Medicine employs a thorough evaluation process involving both engineers and clinicians to ensure AI tools are beneficial. Clinical champions play a key role in successful adoption. Furthermore, patient-facing AI tools are emerging, offering personalized patient experiences and operational efficiencies such as efficient patient messaging and symptom-checking chatbots. Safety, experience, and clear ROI are paramount when working with external AI partners, stresses David Atashroo of Qventus.

OpenAI reportedly in talks to close a new funding round at $100B+ valuation - TechCrunch

August 29, 2024

OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, is reportedly negotiating a new funding round at a valuation exceeding $100 billion, significantly higher than its previous $86 billion valuation. Thrive Capital, an existing backer, is expected to contribute around $1 billion, with Microsoft anticipated to participate as well. The funding would represent OpenAI's largest capital infusion since Microsoft's nearly $10 billion investment in January 2023. Despite annualized revenues surpassing $3.4 billion, the company is on track to lose nearly $5 billion by year-end, having already spent $8.5 billion on AI training and staffing.
