Healthcare AI is in its Wild West phase—messy, undefined, and full of potential.

In this episode, our panel takes a step back to ask: where are we on this path to innovation, and how do we prepare for what's next?

The conversation explores where healthcare AI sits on the hype cycle. While some are just discovering what AI can do, others are already navigating the trough of disillusionment. Our hosts discuss why innovation appears messy right now, how that's actually normal, and what the barriers to adoption reveal about the future trajectory.

What You Will Discover:

- Why controlling the 'mess' too much stifles progress?

- What is the current stage of Healthcare AI in the Hype Cycle?

- Who will pay for AI?

- How to create a safe space for experimentation?

From the struggle to legally define what AI even is, to the careful balance hospital leaders must strike between enabling innovation and ensuring patient safety—this episode is about distinguishing value from hype. Join our panel of experts for a peer-to-peer reality check on where we are, where we're headed, and how to navigate the uncertainty in between.
