Family physician, medical device inventor, and health care entrepreneur Tod Stillson discusses the article "AI governance in health care: Why physicians must lead the design." Tod warns that the greatest threat to modern medicine is allowing artificial intelligence to be designed without physician oversight. He reflects on how hospital consolidation and private equity have previously redistributed power away from clinicians, and argues that AI could become the next structural layer that reduces physicians to mere units in a revenue architecture. Tod outlines five non-negotiable characteristics of trustworthy AI, emphasizing that technology must augment clinical judgment rather than impersonate it. He highlights the "accountability test," reminding listeners that the responsibility for clinical decisions remains with the doctor, not the algorithm. Discover why physicians must move from being passive consumers to active architects to ensure that AI creates leverage with integrity.
