AI is racing into healthcare, but most organizations are still stuck at the starting line. 

A new report from Bessemer Venture Partners, Bain & Company and Amazon Web Services offers a view of AI in healthcare, drawing on a survey of more than 400 leaders across payers, providers and pharma. The findings reveal a stark contrast: more than 80% of respondents believe AI will transform clinical decision-making in the coming years, yet only 30% of pilots make it to production.
