RFK Jr. Flips The AI Trust Question On Doctors
We spoke about whether patients should trust AI with their health data, whether clinicians should trust its recommendations and what health systems need to see before trusting increasingly autonomous agents with more consequential tasks. Throughout the day, I didn't hear anyone ask, "Should patients trust doctors?" Truthfully, it wasn't a question I thought to ask. I sat down with each of our 30-plus speakers before the event, including practicing physicians, heads of AI labs and technology and strategy executives from health systems and health plans.
