Healthcare leaders face a brutal double bind: the sector most burdened by staffing shortages, administrative overload, and rising costs is also the sector where adopting new technology carries the highest stakes. AI promises relief on every front, from clinical documentation to diagnostics to back-office automation, but hospital boards cannot afford either reckless adoption or paralyzed inaction.
This keynote gives healthcare audiences a clear map of both. Built on the AI Faculty's disruption expertise and delivered by Jim Harris, it examines where AI is already transforming health systems, where the genuine risks lie, and how healthcare organizations can capture efficiency and quality gains without gambling on hype.
What does this keynote cover?
