·       The Leadership Imperative: Building Human-Centered AI

SUMMARY:

In healthcare, AI is already delivering real value by enhancing diagnostic accuracy, accelerating research, optimizing workflows, and supporting more personalized patient care—the clear “Good.” At the same time, the “Bad” includes serious risks such as algorithmic bias, patient privacy concerns, cybersecurity threats, regulatory gaps, and the danger of overreliance on automated systems in high-stakes clinical environments. The “Unknown” emerges with the rise of agentic AI, which could move beyond supporting clinicians to independently initiating actions, fundamentally shifting AI’s role from advisor to actor and introducing new ethical, safety, and accountability challenges. This reality creates a leadership imperative: healthcare organizations must intentionally build and govern human-centered AI systems that prioritize transparency, equity, oversight, and trust to ensure technology strengthens clinical judgment and patient outcomes rather than undermines them.
