Clinically grounded analysis and commentary on the implementation of artificial intelligence in healthcare — written from the perspective of a practicing physician.
Artificial intelligence will not transform healthcare on its own. Without physician leadership embedded in every stage of implementation, AI tools risk becoming sophisticated liabilities rather than clinical assets.
Algorithmic bias in healthcare AI is not a hypothetical concern. It is a documented, measurable phenomenon that can widen existing health disparities if left unaddressed — and physicians are the last line of defense.
Health systems need more than enthusiasm for AI — they need a structured, clinically grounded framework for deciding which tools to adopt, how to implement them, and how to hold them accountable over time.
