Summary
Healthcare leaders highlight the importance of safe AI use, especially as healthcare is set to be a major adopter of AI. They've built an AI platform to ensure safety and monitor its use. Potential dangers include increasing bias, data breaches, replacing human workers, and automating crucial tasks, but healthcare's cautious nature may restrict AI's risks. Automation of key judgments against the Hippocratic Oath may be avoided except for minor tasks like smart scheduling. Fear of bias and incomplete datasets causing harm exists, but health leaders' responsibility is to ensure AI's safe use within healthcare. AI can be viewed as another team member, always reviewed by a senior human.
