How Is AI Regulated in Health Care?

Today, we're going to talk about how AI is regulated in a medical practice.

Perfect.

Well, I love that.

And so I really do want to dig into this subject matter.

And AI feels like it's a foreign language for almost everyone in the workforce right now.

And as you know, I can barely speak English.

So the AI world is a challenge for almost anyone.

And it's changing so fast, Michael, that it almost compounds the confusion.

So how does even a practice start to think about compliance or any use in the context of AI?

It's a great question and something we've had to wrestle with as we've been asked to speak on it.

And I think that the starting point is that we have to recognize a few uneasy truths.

The first one, Brad, is that AI's already in your practice if you're a healthcare practitioner in the audience.

And, you know, Brad, have you heard the term shadow AI?

It makes me nervous.

Is that like AI that comes out around Halloween and it's like part of the dark web? Actually, just kidding, Michael.

I actually think I do know this answer.

But those who don't, why don't you let them know what does shadow AI mean?

Yeah.

And I'll give a brief overview because we'll talk an entire episode on this next next episode.

Shadow AI is this idea that even if you are a physician owned practice and you're super conservative and super scared of AI and think I'm not going to touch this.

that AI is happening in your practice.

And it can show up in different forms.

It can show up in the third-party software that you're using.

It can show up in your employees and what they're doing that you're not seeing and using AI.

And it can show up with the patients and how they're bringing AI into your practice.
